Method Detail

getWeight

public double getWeight(double distance,
                        double max,
                        double stddev)

Return Erfc weight, scaled by standard deviation. max is ignored.

Specified by:

getWeight in interface WeightFunction

Parameters:

distance - distance of the query point

max - maximum distance of all included points

stddev - standard deviation (i.e. quadratic mean / RMS) of the included points

Returns:

weight for the query point
