Provides tools for working with nonlinear least squares problems. For the estimation of models reliable and robust tools than nls(), where the the Gauss-Newton method frequently stops with 'singular gradient' messages. This is accomplished by using, where possible, analytic derivatives to compute the matrix of derivatives and a stabilization of the solution of the estimation equations. Tools for approximate or externally supplied derivative matrices are included. Bounds and masks on parameters are handled properly.
