Multidimensional Fitting

2010-07-20 Thread D2Hitman
I want to fit an n-dimensional distribution with an n-dimensional gaussian. So far i have managed to do this in 2d (see below). I am not sure how to convert this to work in n-dimensions. Using "ravel" on the arrays is not ideal, but optimize does not appear to work on multidimensional arrays. It s
