Hi,

I'm looking for a fitter in PDL that takes an *input* covariance matrix.
My data is heavily correlated and I need to take this into account in my
fit.

So far I've been looking at PDL::Fit::LM and PDL::Fit::Levmar but none
of these appear to have this feature. It's possible to pass weights to
PDL::Fit::LM, but not a full covariance matrix so the input data is
still treated as uncorrelated in the fit.

If there is no existing fitter that supports this, I would very much
appreciate any thoughts on how I could either modify any of the existing
packages to support this, or any external library for which it would be
fairly straight forward to write a PDL:PP interface. Perhaps CERNLIB
MINUIT is a good option? Has anyone ever written a PDL interface to
this?

Cheers,

  Rahman
