Fitting of a straight line (with added random noise) using the methodology described in the text. (a) Solution via the evaluation of the fitting model using a discrete number of values of m and b. (b) Selection of the start point (black triangle) (out of a 1000 randomly generated points; grey dots) used in the computation of the first fit. (c) Selected start points used in the computation of 100 fits (grey triangles) and the final fit in all cases (black circle). |
