30   * This class solves a least squares problem using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm.
31   *
32   * <p>This implementation <em>should</em> work even for over-determined systems
33   * (i.e. systems having more point than equations). Over-determined systems
34   * are solved by ignoring the point which have the smallest impact according
35   * to their jacobian column norm. Only the rank of the matrix and some loop bounds
36   * are changed to implement this.</p>
37   *
38   * <p>The resolution engine is a simple translation of the MINPACK <a
39   * href="http://www.netlib.org/minpack/lmder.f">lmder</a> routine with minor
40   * changes. The changes include the over-determined resolution, the use of
41   * inherited convergence checker and the Q.R. decomposition which has been
42   * rewritten following the algorithm described in the
43   * P. Lascaux and R. Theodor book <i>Analyse num&eacute;rique matricielle
44   * appliqu&eacute;e &agrave; l'art de l'ing&eacute;nieur</i>, Masson 1986.</p>
