Maintenance task description
There are two conflicting implementations of the Monte Carlo generator. Only one is mathematically correct: the multivariate generator. Work on #331 adds a spacecraft uncertainty structure to rotate from one frame into any other, and the
KfEstimate
also computes the uncertainty in any desired frame by using the OrbitDual structure to compute the partials.The purpose of this issue is to allow a user to build a Multivariate generator using any orbital parameter, rotate that into the Cartesian state space, and disperse using that new inertial covariance.
Scope of work
This will likely lead to a fair amount of code being removed. It will probably lead to the specialization of the Monte Carlo structure to operate solely on spacecraft, but that is not an issue (if anything, it'll speed up the build time).
This issue will also replace the manual re-implementation of the multivariate distribution with nalgebra-mnv.
