Description
The Eça and Hoekstra method was implemented in #7 and merged in #33, but it has not been fully verified and includes a test which is expected to fail. It is currently believed that the method is properly implemented and discrepancies exist because of the least squares solver, but this has not been conclusively proven.
To fully verify the method, the following should be conducted:
- If possible, obtain original data from 2014 Eça and Hoekstra paper rather than digitally extract it.
- Confirm least squares solver returns the true least squares solution for a manually generated problem with a known exact solution.
- Compare results to the Marin solver written by Eça. This still may differ from the original data.
- Compare results to additional data.
