This minimizer is the same as the :ref:`Levenberg-Marquardt minimizer <LevenbergMarquardt>` as explained in - Wikipedia , but is intended for :ref:`MD workspaces <MDWorkspace>` or for a large number of data points. It divides its work into chunks to achieve a greater efficiency for a large number of data points than can be obtained from the default Levenberg-Marquardt minimizer.
It is listed in :ref:`a comparison of fitting minimizers <FittingMinimizers Minimizer Comparison>`.
It makes use of the GSL (GNU Scientific Library) library, specifically the GSL routines for least-squares fitting.
