; NAME:
; FITXYERRS
;
; PURPOSE:
; Linear fit to data in which there are errors in both Y and X, and
; possibly outliers or points with true errors much larger than the
; measurement errors. It is outlier-resistant but not as resistant as
; ROBUST_LINEFIT. Uncertainties are calculated using the bootstrap
; method.
;
; CALLING SEQUENCE:
; Coeff = FITXYERRS( X, Y, Ex, Ey, N_sample, [ Yint, Slope, Sig_Yint,
; Sig_Slope, /NONROBUST, Tolerance = ] )
;
; INPUT ARGUMENT:
; X = Input x vector
; Y = Input y vector
; Ex= vector of X measurement errors
; Ey= the vector of Y measurement errors
; N_SAMPLE = the number of bootstrap samples. 50 to 100 usually sufficient
; If N_SAMPLE = 1, standard errors are not returned.
;
; OPTIONAL INPUT KEYWORDS:
; NONROBUST - If set, "robustness" weights are not calculated.
; TOLERANCE - When the scatter about the fitted line, weighted by
; measurement errors, changes by less than this fraction,
; the fit is considered to have converged. Default=.0001
;
; OUTPUT:
; COEFF = array of coefficients. Dimensions=(NDEG+1,N_SAMPLE)
; First dimension in the order A0, A1
;
; OPTIONAL OUTPUT ARGUMENT:
; Yint = Y intercept (average of COEFF(0,*))
; Slop = slope (average of (COEFF(1,*))
; Sig_Yint = standard error of Y intercept (std. dev. of COEFF(0,*))
; Sig_Slop = standard error of slope (std. dev. of COEFF(1,*))
;
; METHOD:
; Convert to standardized variables, calculate Y vs X and X vs Y fits,
; take a weighted mean of the two lines, the weights being a function of
; slope. The weights of the input points are functions of their
; uncertainties and perpendicular distance to the fitted line. This is
; an iterative procedure. To the author's knowledge, neither this nor
; a similar method has ever been, or may ever be, published.
;
; WARNING:
; At least 6 points must be input. It is better to have at least 10.
; It is best to have a large number.
; For large datasets, try it out with N_SAMPLE of 1 first to see how long
; it takes.
;
; SUBROUTINES CALLED:
; XYFIT, MED (to calculate a median)
;
; REVSION HISTORY:
; Written, H.T. Freudenreich, HSTX, 6/94.
; Corrected serious bug in computation of the Y intercept
; H.T. Freudenreich/Landsman HSTX, 11/95
