Global Optimization of Redescending Robust Estimators

Table 7

Circles and corresponding parameters obtained with the Welsch estimator computed by GO: for each solution (Solution No.), xc and yc are the coordinates of the center, r the radius, L the circumference length, No. Points is the number of points generated for the circle, and P1, P2, P3 are the circle parameters. Circle No. is the corresponding circle number in Table 3.
