Description
Summary:An algorithm for solving the general nonlinear least-square problem is developed. An estimate for the Hessian matrix is constructed as the sum of two matrices. The first matrix is the usual first-order estimate used by the Gauss method, while the second matrix is generated recursively using a rank-one formula. Test results indicate that the method is superior to the standard Gauss method and compares favorably with other methods, especially for problems with nonzero residuals at the solution.
