fitbenchmarking.cost_func.weighted_nlls_cost_func module
Implements the weighted non-linear least squares cost function
- class fitbenchmarking.cost_func.weighted_nlls_cost_func.WeightedNLLSCostFunc(problem)
Bases:
fitbenchmarking.cost_func.nlls_base_cost_func.BaseNLLSCostFuncThis defines the weighted non-linear least squares cost function where, given a set of \(n\) data points \((x_i,y_i)\), associated errors \(e_i\), and a model function \(f(x,p)\), we find the optimal parameters in the root least-squares sense by solving:
\[\min_p \sum_{i=1}^n \left(\frac{y_i - f(x_i, p)}{e_i}\right)^2\]where \(p\) is a vector of length \(m\), and we start from a given initial guess for the optimal parameters. More information on non-linear least squares cost functions can be found here.
