Class GaussianDerivativeFunction

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.commons.math.optimization.fitting.GaussianDerivativeFunction

All Implemented Interfaces:
  Serializable, UnivariateRealFunction

    public class GaussianDerivativeFunction

extends Object
implements UnivariateRealFunction, Serializable

The derivative of `GaussianFunction`. Specifically:

`f'(x) = (-b / (d^2)) * (x - c) * exp(-((x - c)^2) / (2*(d^2)))`

Notation key:

- `x^n`: `x` raised to the power of `n`
- `exp(x)`: e`^x`

    public GaussianDerivativeFunction(double[] parameters)

  Constructs an instance with the specified parameters.

  Parameters:
    `parameters` - `b`, `c`, and `d` parameter values
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - if `parameters` is null, `parameters` length is not 3, or if `parameters[2]` is 0

Method Detail
