+/**
+ * This class converts {@link MultivariateVectorFunction vectorial objective functions} to {@link
+ * MultivariateFunction scalar objective functions} when the goal is to minimize them.
+ *
+ * <p>This class is mostly used when the vectorial objective function represents a theoretical
+ * result computed from a point set applied to a model and the models point must be adjusted to fit
+ * the theoretical result to some reference observations. The observations may be obtained for
+ * example from physical measurements whether the model is built from theoretical considerations.
+ *
+ * <p>This class computes a possibly weighted squared sum of the residuals, which is a scalar value.
+ * The residuals are the difference between the theoretical model (i.e. the output of the vectorial
+ * objective function) and the observations. The class implements the {@link MultivariateFunction}
+ * interface and can therefore be minimized by any optimizer supporting scalar objectives
+ * functions.This is one way to perform a least square estimation. There are other ways to do this
+ * without using this converter, as some optimization algorithms directly support vectorial
+ * objective functions.
+ *
+ * <p>This class support combination of residuals with or without weights and correlations.
+ *
+ * @see MultivariateFunction
+ * @see MultivariateVectorFunction
