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