This is a robust and accurate circle fit. It works well even if datapoints are observed only within a small arc. This circle fit wasproposed by G. Taubin in article "Estimation Of Planar Curves, Surfaces And Nonplanar Space Curves Defined By Implicit Equations, With Applications To Edge And Range Image Segmentation", IEEE Trans. PAMI, Vol. 13, pages 1115-1138, (1991). It is more stable than the simple Circle Fit by Kasa (files#5557 and #22642) and slightly faster than Circle Fit by Pratt (file #22643).
