Static Interval Accelerometer Calibrator
Collects accelerometer measurements by detecting periods when device remains static, and using such static periods, measurements are obtained to solve calibration parameters. This calibrator converts sensor measurements from device ENU coordinates to local plane NED coordinates. Thus, all values referring to a given x-y-z coordinates refers to local plane NED system of coordinates.

mapper to convert collected accelerometer measurements into quality scores, based on the amount of standard deviation (the larger the variability, the worse the score will be).
Indicates if accelerometer result is unreliable. This can happen if no location is provided and gravity estimation becomes unreliable. When this happens result of calibration should probably be discarded.
Confidence of estimated accelerometer calibration result expressed as a value between 0.0 and 1.0. By default 99% of confidence is used, which indicates that with a probability of 99% estimation will be accurate because chosen sub-samples will be inliers (in other terms, outliers will be correctly discarded). This property is only taken into account if a not-null accelerometerRobustMethod is specified.
Maximum number of iterations to attempt to find a robust accelerometer calibration solution. By default this is 5000. This property is only taken into account if a not-null accelerometerRobustMethod is specified.
Indicates robust method used to solve accelerometer calibration. If null, no robust method is used at all, and instead an LMSE solution is found.
Size of preliminary subsets picked while finding a robust accelerometer calibration solution. By default this is the minimumRequiredAccelerometerMeasurements, which results in the smallest number of iterations to complete robust algorithms. Larger values can be used to ensure that error in each preliminary solution is minimized among more measurements (thus, softening the effect of outliers), but this comes at the expense of larger number of iterations. This properly is only taken into account if a not-null accelerometerRobustMethod is specified.
Additional factor to be taken into account for robust methods based on LMedS or PROMedS, where factor is not directly related to LMSE, but to a smaller value. This only applies to accelerometer calibration.
Threshold to be used to determine whether a measurement is considered an outlier by robust accelerometer calibration algorithms or not. Threshold varies depending on chosen accelerometerRobustMethod. By default, if null is provided, the estimated accelerometerBaseNoiseLevel will be used to determine a suitable threshold. Otherwise, if a value is provided, such value will be used instead. This properly is only taken into account if a not-null accelerometerRobustMethod is specified.
Factor to be used respect estimated accelerometer base noise level to consider a measurement an outlier when using robust calibration methods. By default this is 3.0 times accelerometerBaseNoiseLevel, which considering the noise level as the standard deviation of a Gaussian distribution, should account for 99% of the cases. Any measurement having an error greater than that in the estimated solution, will be considered an outlier and be discarded.
