Hi,

The existing code is :
 - package o.a.c.math.estimation:
     Levenberg-Marquardt method for weighted least square minimization
of a vector of residuals

Either one considers the full weighting matrix (including potential
correlation between observations) or one does not account for any weight
at all.  By premultiplying both the function matrix and the observation
vector  by the square root of the weight matrix, one can forget about it
completely in the rest of the computation.   So, please, do not restrain
weights to a vector.

Regards,
 Dim.
