Method Detail

addParameterDriver

protected void addParameterDriver(ParameterDriver driver)

Add a parameter driver.

Parameters:

driver - parameter driver to add

Since:

9.3

getParametersDrivers

public List<ParameterDriver> getParametersDrivers()

Get the drivers for this measurement parameters, including its modifiers parameters.

Specified by:

getParametersDrivers in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

drivers for this measurement parameters, including its modifiers parameters

setEnabled

public void setEnabled(boolean enabled)

Enable or disable a measurement.

Disabling a measurement allow to not consider it at one stage of the orbit determination (for example when it appears to be an outlier as per current estimated covariance).

Specified by:

setEnabled in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Parameters:

enabled - if true the measurement will be enabled, otherwise it will be disabled

isEnabled

public boolean isEnabled()

Check if a measurement is enabled.

Specified by:

isEnabled in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

true if the measurement is enabled

getDimension

public int getDimension()

Get the dimension of the measurement.

Dimension is the size of the array containing the value. It will be one for a scalar measurement like a range or range-rate, but 6 for a position-velocity measurement.

Specified by:

getDimension in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

dimension of the measurement

getTheoreticalStandardDeviation

public double[] getTheoreticalStandardDeviation()

Get the theoretical standard deviation.

The theoretical standard deviation is a theoretical value used for normalizing the residuals. It acts as a weighting factor to mix appropriately measurements with different units and different accuracy. The value has the same dimension as the measurement itself (i.e. when a residual is divided by this value, it becomes dimensionless).

Specified by:

getTheoreticalStandardDeviation in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

expected standard deviation

See Also:

ObservedMeasurement.getBaseWeight()

getBaseWeight

public double[] getBaseWeight()

Get the base weight associated with the measurement

The base weight is used on residuals already normalized thanks to ObservedMeasurement.getTheoreticalStandardDeviation() to increase or decrease relative effect of some measurements with respect to other measurements. It is a dimensionless value, typically between 0 and 1 (but it can really have any non-negative value).

Specified by:

getBaseWeight in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

base weight

See Also:

ObservedMeasurement.getTheoreticalStandardDeviation()

getSatellites

public List<ObservableSatellite> getSatellites()

Get the satellites related to this measurement.

Specified by:

getSatellites in interface ObservedMeasurement<T extends ObservedMeasurement<T>>

Returns:

satellites related to this measurement
