Detailed Description

An iterative vertex fitter, updating the vertex estimate with a single at the time.

The measurement equation is relinearized with the position of the resulting estimate and the vertex is refit The iterations are performed until the vertex position improves or the maximal niumber of iterations is reached. Smoothing (refit of tracks with the knowledge of the vertex position) is then performed on request.

The fitter can be used with arbitrary VertexUpdator, VertexSmoother and LinearizedTrackFactory
