Several options are now available to the user in the main menu of the program. Probabilities can be calculated using an iterative method. Brown s modified version of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (14-16). by substi futing values for P1-P4 in Equation 1 to calculate the peak integral which are then used in Equation 2 to simulate spectra until a good match between experimental and simulated data is achieved.

There are a multitude of methods for this task. Those that are conceptually simple usually are computationally intensive and slow, while the fast algorithms have a more complex mathematical background. We start this chapter with the Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm, not because it is the simplest but because it is the most powerful and fastest method. We can t think of many instances where it is advantageous to use an alternative algorithm. 

Because of its relative complexity and tremendous usefulness, we develop the Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm in several small steps and thus examine it in more detail than many of the other algorithms introduced in this book. 

Chapter 4 is an introduction to linear and non-linear least-squares fitting. The theory is developed and exemplified in several stages, each demonstrated with typical applications. The chapter culminates with the development of a very general Newton-Gauss-Levenberg/Marquardt algorithm. 

Curve fitting is currently accomplished using a non-linear minimization (modified Levenberg-Marquardt) algorithm for three-parameter Loroitzians, as well as five additional non-linear peak...

The following simple tricks improve the efficiency of the Gauss-Newton-Marquardt algorithm implemented in the (nodule M45. 

Computational the most demanding task is locating the minimum of the function (3.89) at step (ii). Since the Gauss-Newtan-Marquardt algorithm is a robust and efficient way of solving the nonlinear least squares problem discussed in Section 3.3, we would like to extend it to error—in-variables models. First we show, however, that this extension is not obvious, and the apparently simplest approach does not work. 

Least-squares methods are usually used for fitting a model to experimental data. They may be used for functions consisting of square sums of nonlinear functions. The well-known Gauss-Newton method often leads to instabilities in the minimization process since the steps are too large. The Marquardt algorithm [9 1 is better in this respect but it is computationally expensive. 

The Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm can be summarized in the following steps ...
