Method Detail

getWeight

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

Get Gaussian Weight using standard deviation for scaling. 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
