Gilles commented on MATH-784:
-----------------------------

Did you confirm that the correct "error" is returned by "guessParametersErr=
ors" but not by the diagonal elements of the covariance matrix?

> This bug report follows a recent discussion available [here|http://mail-a=
rchives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201204.mbox/%3C20120418122114.GB320=
74%40dusk.harfang.homelinux.org%3E]. It is now recognized that the values r=
eturned by {{guessParametersErrors()}} are in fact known as (asymptotic) st=
andard errors. The javadoc should be made more explicit. Besides, the value=
s returned by this method should be tested. The reference datasets from [NI=
ST|http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/] are to be used.
