| * |
| * For a set of points, this function tries to express |
| * one of the coords as a linear (affine) function of the other coords. |
| * |
| * This is best explained by an example. This function works in full |
| * generality, for points in a space of arbitrary dimension, and also over |
| * the complex numbers, but for this example we will work in dimension 3 |
| * over the real numbers (doubles). |
| * |
| * So let us work with the following set of 5 points given by their |
| * \f$(x,y,z)\f$ coordinates: |
| * @code |
| Vector3d points[5]; |
| points[0] = Vector3d( 3.02, 6.89, -4.32 ); |
| points[1] = Vector3d( 2.01, 5.39, -3.79 ); |
| points[2] = Vector3d( 2.41, 6.01, -4.01 ); |
| points[3] = Vector3d( 2.09, 5.55, -3.86 ); |
| points[4] = Vector3d( 2.58, 6.32, -4.10 ); |
| * @endcode |
| * Suppose that we want to express the second coordinate (\f$y\f$) as a linear |
| * expression in \f$x\f$ and \f$z\f$, that is, |
| * \f[ y=ax+bz+c \f] |
| * for some constants \f$a,b,c\f$. Thus, we want to find the best possible |
| * constants \f$a,b,c\f$ so that the plane of equation \f$y=ax+bz+c\f$ fits |
| * best the five above points. To do that, call this function as follows: |
| * @code |
| Vector3d coeffs; // will store the coefficients a, b, c |
| linearRegression( |
| 5, |
| &points, |
| &coeffs, |
| 1 // the coord to express as a function of |
| // the other ones. 0 means x, 1 means y, 2 means z. |
| ); |
| * @endcode |
| * Now the vector \a coeffs is approximately |
| * \f$( 0.495 , -1.927 , -2.906 )\f$. |
| * Thus, we get \f$a=0.495, b = -1.927, c = -2.906\f$. Let us check for |
| * instance how near points[0] is from the plane of equation \f$y=ax+bz+c\f$. |
| * Looking at the coords of points[0], we see that: |
| * \f[ax+bz+c = 0.495 * 3.02 + (-1.927) * (-4.32) + (-2.906) = 6.91.\f] |
| * On the other hand, we have \f$y=6.89\f$. We see that the values |
| * \f$6.91\f$ and \f$6.89\f$ |
| * are near, so points[0] is very near the plane of equation \f$y=ax+bz+c\f$. |
| * |
| * Let's now describe precisely the parameters: |
| * @param numPoints the number of points |
| * @param points the array of pointers to the points on which to perform the linear regression |
| * @param result pointer to the vector in which to store the result. |
| This vector must be of the same type and size as the |
| data points. The meaning of its coords is as follows. |
| For brevity, let \f$n=Size\f$, |
| \f$r_i=result[i]\f$, |
| and \f$f=funcOfOthers\f$. Denote by |
| \f$x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1}\f$ |
| the n coordinates in the n-dimensional space. |
| Then the resulting equation is: |
| \f[ x_f = r_0 x_0 + \cdots + r_{f-1}x_{f-1} |
| + r_{f+1}x_{f+1} + \cdots + r_{n-1}x_{n-1} + r_n. \f] |
| * @param funcOfOthers Determines which coord to express as a function of the |
| others. Coords are numbered starting from 0, so that a |
| value of 0 means \f$x\f$, 1 means \f$y\f$, |
| 2 means \f$z\f$, ... |

| * |
| * This function is quite similar to linearRegression(), so we refer to the |
| * documentation of this function and only list here the differences. |
| * |
| * The main difference from linearRegression() is that this function doesn't |
| * take a \a funcOfOthers argument. Instead, it finds a general equation |
| * of the form |
| * \f[ r_0 x_0 + \cdots + r_{n-1}x_{n-1} + r_n = 0, \f] |
| * where \f$n=Size\f$, \f$r_i=retCoefficients[i]\f$, and we denote by |
| * \f$x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1}\f$ the n coordinates in the n-dimensional space. |
| * |
| * Thus, the vector \a retCoefficients has size \f$n+1\f$, which is another |
| * difference from linearRegression(). |
| * |
| * In practice, this function performs an hyper-plane fit in a total least square sense |
| * via the following steps: |
| * 1 - center the data to the mean |
| * 2 - compute the covariance matrix |
| * 3 - pick the eigenvector corresponding to the smallest eigenvalue of the covariance matrix |
| * The ratio of the smallest eigenvalue and the second one gives us a hint about the relevance |
| * of the solution. This value is optionally returned in \a soundness. |
