We will discuss some of the difficulties involved in the solution of this problem, and we will describe a new parallel quasi-Newton algorithm for finding values of the parameters so that the numerical solution of the state equation best fits the observed data in the weighted least squares sense.17 ppengTechnical reportTR88-12
