Gilles updated MATH-784:
------------------------

    Attachment: montecarlo_params.eps

"montecarlo_params.eps" is the plot of a Monte-Carlo run _on the parameters_, 
i.e. generating sets of parameters, and recording which (plotted in green) have 
a chi-square lower than "1 + chi2_b", where "chi2_b" is the chi-square of the 
optimal solution (plotted in red).

                
> Javadoc of AbstractLeastSquaresOptimizer.guessParametersErrors() is too vague

> This bug report follows a recent discussion available 
> [here|http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/commons-dev/201204.mbox/%3C20120418122114.GB32074%40dusk.harfang.homelinux.org%3E].
>  It is now recognized that the values returned by {{guessParametersErrors()}} 
> are in fact known as (asymptotic) standard errors. The javadoc should be made 
> more explicit. Besides, the values returned by this method should be tested. 
> The reference datasets from [NIST|http://www.itl.nist.gov/div898/strd/] are 
> to be used.
