// For given datum pair (x, y), uncertainties σ (or weighting W = 1 / σ^2) and model function f = f(x; p),
// let's find the parameters of the model so that the sum of the quares of the deviations is minimized.
//
// F(p) = 1/2 * ∑{ Wi * (yi - f(xi; p))^2 }
// pbest = argmin F(p)
//
// Here, we will use the following terms:
// Weighting W is the diagonal matrix and can be decomposed as LL', so L = 1/σ
// Residuals, R = L(y - f(x; p))
// Residual sum of squares, RSS = ||R||^2 = R.DotProduct(R)
// Jacobian J = df(x; p)/dp
// Gradient g = -J'W(y − f(x; p)) = -J'LR
// Approximated Hessian H = J'WJ
//
// The trust region algorithm is summarized as follows:
// initially set trust-region radius, Δ
// repeat
// solve subproblem
// update Δ:
// let ρ = (RSS - RSSnew) / predRed
// if ρ > 0.75, Δ = 2Δ
// if ρ < 0.25, Δ = Δ/4
// if ρ > eta, P = P + ΔP
