Detailed Description

Base class for robust error models The robust M-estimators above simply tell us how to re-weight the residual, and are isotropic kernels, in that they do not allow for correlated noise. They also have no way to scale the residual values, e.g., dividing by a single standard deviation. Hence, the actual robust noise model below does this scaling/whitening in sequence, by passing both a standard noise model and a robust estimator.

Taking as an example noise = Isotropic::Create(d, sigma), we first divide the residuals uw = |Ax-b| by sigma by "whitening" the system (A,b), obtaining r = |Ax-b|/sigma, and then we pass the now whitened residual 'r' through the robust M-estimator. This is currently done by multiplying with sqrt(w), because the residuals will be squared again in error, yielding 0.5 w(r)*r^2.

In other words, while sigma is expressed in the native residual units, a parameter like k in the Huber norm is expressed in whitened units, i.e., "nr of sigmas".
