If for any reason the extrapolation range for lowess regression returns zero then
globalMinimize
, to find the function minimum, would be supplied an empty collection of points and fail. This would then lead tominimum
returning a uninitialised value for the minimum. This shouldn't normally happen in our usage of it, but we have seen the error message associated with supplying an empty collection toglobalMinimize
in our QA suite.
