public class Plane extends Object implements DoubleBinaryOperator, Cloneable, Serializable
Equation of a plane in a three-dimensional space (x,y,z). The plane equation is expressed by sx, sy and z₀ coefficients as below:

    • fit

      public double fit(double[] x, double[] y, double[] z)
      Computes the plane's coefficients from the given coordinate values. This method uses a linear regression in the least-square sense, with the assumption that the (x,y) values are precise and all uncertainty is in z. Double​.Na­N values are ignored.

      Parameters:
      x - vector of x coordinates.
      y - vector of y coordinates.
      z - vector of z values.
      Returns:
      an estimation of the Pearson correlation coefficient. The closer this coefficient is to +1 or -1, the better the fit.

      public double fit(int nx, int ny, Vector z)
