The polynomial fitter built this way are complete polynomials, ie. a n-degree polynomial has n+1 coefficients.

Params:
  • degree – Maximal degree of the polynomial.
  • optimizer – Optimizer to use for the fitting.

Get the coefficients of the polynomial fitting the weighted data points. The degree of the fitting polynomial is guess.length - 1.
