Detailed Description

Abstract base class for Kalman fitter and derived fitting algorithms.

Definition at line 51 of file AbsKalmanFitter.h.

Member Function Documentation

◆ processTrack()

void processTrack	(	Track *	tr,
		bool	resortHits = `false`
	)

inherited

Process all reps.

Start with the cardinalRep and resort the hits if necessary (and supported by the fitter)

Definition at line 25 of file AbsFitter.cc.

◆ processTrackWithRep()

virtual void processTrackWithRep	(	Track *	,
		const AbsTrackRep *	,
		bool	resortHits = `false`
	)

pure virtualinherited

Process Track with one AbsTrackRep of the Track.

Optionally resort the hits if necessary (and supported by the fitter)

Implemented in GFGbl, GblFitter, KalmanFitterRefTrack, KalmanFitter, and DAF.

◆ setBlowUpMaxVal()

void setBlowUpMaxVal ( double blowUpMaxVal )

inline

Limit the cov entries to this maximum value when blowing up the cov. Set to negative value to disable. Default is 1.E6.

This is especially useful for fits where the measurements do not constrain one direction, e.g. parallel wire measurements. The fit will not be constrained along the wire direction. This also means that the covariance along the wire direction will not get smaller during the fit. However, it will be blown up before the next iteration, leading to an exponential growth of the covariance element(s) corresponding to the wire direction. This can then lead to numerical problems. To prevent this, the maximum value of the covariance elements after blowing up can be limited.

Definition at line 119 of file AbsKalmanFitter.h.

◆ setDeltaPval()

void setDeltaPval ( double deltaPval )

inline

Set Convergence criterion.

if track total P-value changes less than this between consecutive iterations, consider the track converged. chi² from the backwards fit is used.

Definition at line 95 of file AbsKalmanFitter.h.

◆ setRelChi2Change()

void setRelChi2Change ( double relChi2Change )

inline

@ brief Set Non-convergence criterion

if the relative chi^2 between two iterations is larger than relChi2Change_, the fit is NOT converged and further iterations will be done, even if the deltaPval_ convergence criterium is met. This is especially useful for fits which have a p-value of almost 0 (possibly due to bad start values), where the p-value from one iteration to the next might not change much. However, a significant change in chi^2 tells us, that the fit might not yet be converged.
