For a current data analysis project with noisy data we need to fit parameters which are physically constrained to positive values. There seems to be an advantage to using a non-negative least squares algorithm, e.g. Lawson & Hanson's NNLS, which is available, e.g. in Fortran or as a MATLAB function. For various reasons we would like to use Mathematica but we haven't been able to find an implementation of either this algorithm or something similar. Do you have or know the whereabouts of NNLS in Mathematica? Thank you very much! Stefan ____________________________________________________________________________ Dr. Stefan P.
