estimateParameters

Estimates the parameters for all estimators represented by the set of estimators. The parameter automaticShifting controls whether the data will be automatically shifted.

If the automatic shift parameter is true (the default), then a confidence interval for the minimum of the data is estimated from the data. If the upper limit of the estimated confidence interval is greater than the value specified by the default zero tolerance property, then the data is shifted to the left and used in the estimation process. The estimated shift will be recorded in the result. Automated shift estimation will occur only if the automatic shifting parameter is true, and the estimator requires that its range be checked and if the data actually requires a shift. If the automatic shifting parameter is false, then no shifting will occur. In this case it is up to the user to ensure that the supplied data is representative of the set of estimators to be estimated.

The returned list will contain the results for each estimator. Keep in mind that some estimators may fail the estimation process, which will be noted in the success property of the estimation results.

A convenience method for invoking parameter estimation for a single instance of ParameterEstimatorIfc. The parameter automaticShifting controls whether the data will be automatically shifted.
