Package org.hipparchus.analysis.interpolation

Class LoessInterpolator

java.lang.Object

org.hipparchus.analysis.interpolation.LoessInterpolator

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, UnivariateInterpolator

public class LoessInterpolator
extends Object
implements UnivariateInterpolator, Serializable

Implements the Local Regression Algorithm (also Loess, Lowess) for interpolation of real univariate functions.

For reference, see William S. Cleveland - Robust Locally Weighted Regression and Smoothing Scatterplots

This class implements both the loess method and serves as an interpolation adapter to it, allowing one to build a spline on the obtained loess fit.

Constructor Details

LoessInterpolator

public LoessInterpolator()

Constructs a new LoessInterpolator with a bandwidth of DEFAULT_BANDWIDTH, DEFAULT_ROBUSTNESS_ITERS robustness iterations and an accuracy of {#link #DEFAULT_ACCURACY}. See LoessInterpolator(double, int, double) for an explanation of the parameters.

LoessInterpolator

public LoessInterpolator(double bandwidth,
 int robustnessIters)

Construct a new LoessInterpolator with given bandwidth and number of robustness iterations.

Calling this constructor is equivalent to calling {link LoessInterpolator(bandwidth, robustnessIters, LoessInterpolator.DEFAULT_ACCURACY)

Parameters:

bandwidth - when computing the loess fit at a particular point, this fraction of source points closest to the current point is taken into account for computing a least-squares regression. A sensible value is usually 0.25 to 0.5, the default value is DEFAULT_BANDWIDTH.

robustnessIters - This many robustness iterations are done. A sensible value is usually 0 (just the initial fit without any robustness iterations) to 4, the default value is DEFAULT_ROBUSTNESS_ITERS.

• LoessInterpolator(double, int, double)

LoessInterpolator

public LoessInterpolator(double bandwidth,
 int robustnessIters,
 double accuracy)
                  throws MathIllegalArgumentException

Construct a new LoessInterpolator with given bandwidth, number of robustness iterations and accuracy.

Parameters:

bandwidth - when computing the loess fit at a particular point, this fraction of source points closest to the current point is taken into account for computing a least-squares regression. A sensible value is usually 0.25 to 0.5, the default value is DEFAULT_BANDWIDTH.

robustnessIters - This many robustness iterations are done. A sensible value is usually 0 (just the initial fit without any robustness iterations) to 4, the default value is DEFAULT_ROBUSTNESS_ITERS.

accuracy - If the median residual at a certain robustness iteration is less than this amount, no more iterations are done.

Throws:

MathIllegalArgumentException - if bandwidth does not lie in the interval [0,1].

MathIllegalArgumentException - if robustnessIters is negative.
