hello, I've noticed that Octave includes the Powell's hybrid method from MINPACK for its fsolve function. Since MINPACK also features nonlinear least squares (via trust-region approach), I suggest including also that relevant part of MINPACK (lmder,lmdif etc) and wrap it in a counterpart to fsolve (with similar interface) to do nonlinear least squares. I'd volunteer for the project. What do you think?
I'm all for that. I'd like to have more optimization options in Octave. Any chance minpack includes a minimax method as well? Ben
