Re: [Help-gsl] 1st attempt at fitting a Gaussian function with GSL.

[mail]

If Gaussian means s.th. like exp(-x^2) the I would first fit log(y) against
x and then refine (usually you want some weightings around the mean
to catch it better). If it means against the integral you will want to cut
off the tails first (and refine later).
