Limitation of parameter number for esfit()

Post by katarkon »

Currently the functiom esfit() support only 30 parameters could be varied simultaneously. Unfortunately, some special cases require larger number of varying parameters. Is any way to overcome the limitation?

Any fit involving more parameters is hopeless. You won't be able to find the global minimum, and the correlations between parameters can be massive.

In any case, use FitOpt.maxParameters = 50 to change this limit.
