    Re: Position lines with confidence weights

    From the desk of the navigation-made-complicated department:
    
    So what is the generalization of the symmedian point when there are
    errors in each line have different variances? The answer is in
    
    R. Stansfield, “Statistical theory of DF fixing,” Journal of the
    Institution of Electrical Engineers-Part IIIA:
    Radio communication, vol. 94, no. 15, pp. 762–770, 1947.
    
    He defines a kind of weighted symmedian line and these intersect at
    the weighted least squares point. One might think analogously of a
    weighted centroid of a triangle with different masses at the vertices.
    
    OK so we have computers and calculators to do it now but in principle
    it could (have) be done graphically.
