110432 Variable-Metric Routine for Function Minimization Version: February 1980 Submitted by: Charles E. Cohn, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL Operating System: Independent Source Language: FORTRAN IV Keywords: Mathematical Abstract: This routine finds a local minimum of an arbitrary differential function with respect to a number of parameters. When used for least-squares fitting, it estimates the variance matrix of the parameters.
