+
+File Format: ASCII
+ Starting Values (lines 41 to 46)
+ Certified Values (lines 41 to 51)
+ Data (lines 61 to 84)
+
+Procedure: Nonlinear Least Squares Regression
+
+Description: These data are taken from an example discussed in
+ Lanczos (1956). The data were generated to 14-digits
+ of accuracy using
+ f(x) = 0.0951*exp(-x) + 0.8607*exp(-3*x)
+ + 1.5576*exp(-5*x).
