Description
Suggested by Bill Marshall.
Currently the least squares cost function we have implemented in Mantid is
sum ((y_iobs-y_ical)/sigma_i)2
which at least in the crystallographic community may be referred to as weighted least squares. In this community another cost function used is
sum ((y_iobs-y_ical))2
i.e. with all the sigma_i=1
This ticket is to add this latter cost function option to mantid, although should not be the default cost function option in mantid.
The steps for this tickets are
- Send email to mantid developer list to suggest the name of this cost function to be 'none-weigthed least squares' with the name of the already implemented 'least squares' cost staying the same, partly to ensure backward compatebility... However, someone else may have a different oppinion for good reasons
- implement this new cost function
