Hey guys & girls,

I found a script on the net that uses leasqr to fit experimental data
to a function and adapted it to my needs. Works like a charm =)

I do still have some trouble with understanding/using the weighing
properly and hoped maybe someone could help me out.
Here is my situation:
I have experimental x-y data, the process is roughly an exponential
decay. As always with real life data, its noisy and especially in the
tail of the exponential, the noise is a problem. I know the absolute
size of noise, let's call this number "noize". What I am used to doing
in experimental data fitting is to take the weighing factor for each
y-point as the inverse of its relative error, i.e. noize/yvalue.
But the "wt" used in leasqr has to be an N*N-matrix, where N is the
number of y-values ... I am a bit confused as to how I would construct
the proper wt-matrix for the problem at hand.

Help would be much appreciated,
thanks in advance,
Timo
