> HarmonicCoefficientsGuesser.sortObservations()
> generates an NPE warning from Eclipse which thinks that mI can be null in the while condition.
> The code looks like:
> {code}
> WeightedObservedPoint mI = observations[i];
> while ((i >= 0) && (curr.getX() < mI.getX())) {
>     observations[i + 1] = mI;
>     if (i-- != 0) {
>         mI = observations[i];
>     } else {
>         mI = null;
>     }
> }
> // mI is not used further
> {code}
> It looks to me as though the "mI = null" statement is either redundant or wrong - why would one want to replace one of the observations with null during a sort?
