Algorithm-CurveFit
==================

Algorithm::CurveFit implements a nonlinear least squares curve fitting
algorithm. That means, it fits a curve of known form (sine-like, exponential,
polynomial of degree n, etc.) to a given set of data points.

For details about the algorithm and its capabilities and flaws, you're
encouraged to read the following MathWorld page:

  Eric W. Weisstein. "Nonlinear Least Squares Fitting."

INSTALLATION

To install this module type the following:

   perl Build.PL
   ./Build
   ./Build test
   ./Build install

On platforms that don't support the "./" notation, that would be:

   perl Build.PL
   perl Build
   perl Build test
   perl Build install

If you wish, you may use the old MakeMaker style instead:

   perl Makefile.PL
   make
   make test
   make install
