|  | // The National Institute of Standards and Technology has released a | 
|  | // set of problems to test non-linear least squares solvers. | 
|  | // | 
|  | // More information about the background on these problems and | 
|  | // suggested evaluation methodology can be found at: | 
|  | // | 
|  | //   http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/nls/nls_info.shtml |

|  | // The problem data themselves can be found at | 
|  | // | 
|  | //   http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/nls/nls_main.shtml | 
|  | // | 
|  | // The problems are divided into three levels of difficulty, Easy, | 
|  | // Medium and Hard. For each problem there are two starting guesses, | 
|  | // the first one far away from the global minimum and the second | 
|  | // closer to it. | 
|  | // | 
|  | // A problem is considered successfully solved, if every components of | 
|  | // the solution matches the globally optimal solution in at least 4 | 
|  | // digits or more. | 
|  | // |
