Why this total residual error shows 0.5?

2 views (last 30 days)
I confirm the function 'findchangepts' following code.
findchangepts([0 1 2],'MinThreshold',0.5)
this result shows total residual error = 0.5. But, in my understanding, each points of residual error are 0, -0.5, +0.5, so the total residual error is 0. Because the values of residual error is each points to red line.
Could you explain me why this total residual value is 0.5?

Hi Kazuki,
as described in the documentation, it is "the sum of the residual (squared) error".
Hence, in this case, 0^2 + (+0.5)^2 + (-0.5)^2 = 0.5.
HTH.
