Hello ! You made your way to the information page of this website ! So you might wonder how this works behind the scenes right ? I hope you do, because this is what this page is all about !
As one can see, I'm not too familiar with CSS, so this page is probably a bit ugly, I hope the content on it stays readable though.
The concept:
- Data is collected empirically by CMDRs like myself, for different values of energy consumption and fuel consumption.
- Then, the data points are processed and we search the best approximation of a linear function that would pass through all points
The math:
- The mathematical reasoning behind the formula is plain and simple, we do a linear regression using the least square method.
- On load, the page loads the data currently uploaded, and solves the equation system A^T*A*x = A^T*b twice, once for normal flight and once for super-cruise.
- That's... about it ! This gives us the coefficient a and b of a linear function f(x)=a*x+b where x is our energy consumption in MW.
