Detailed Description

template<class T>
class casacore::ConstantNDParam< T >

Parameter handling for a constant function in a space of arbitrary dimensionality.

Intended use:

Internal

Review Status

Test programs:

tConstant

Prerequisite

• FunctionParam class
• Function class

Synopsis

This class forms a function of the form f(x₀,x₁,..,x_m-1) = constant in an m-dimensional parameter space where x_i are independent arguments.

Since the Constant is a Function, the derivatives can be obtained as well (and in fact are 0 of course).

The parameter interface (see FunctionParam class), is used to provide an interface to the Fitting classes.

This class is in general used implicitly by the Constant class only.

Example

form a constant function in 4-D space
Constant<Double> constant(4); // constant in 4-D param space
constant.parameters()[0] = 22;
// Evaluate at x0=5, x3=7
Vector<Double> x(4);
x=0; x[0]=5; x[3]=7;
cout << "constant value: " << constant(x) << endl;
constant value: 22

Template Type Argument Requirements (T)

• T should have standard numerical operators and exp() function. Current implementation only tested for real types (and their AutoDiffs).

Thrown Exceptions

• Assertion in debug mode if attempt is made to set a negative width
• AipsError if incorrect parameter number specified.

Motivation

This class was created because HyperPlane does not support a constant offset and modifying that class really required an interface change (ie that the constant offset be at the beginning of the parameter vector and that the parameter vector increase by one) so rather than breaking any code that already used HyperPlane I simply made a trivial Constant class.
