I am not sure, if I understand your question. Do you have a guess, for a
function y(x1,...xn)? And with this function, you want to minimize E and have a
prediction for the xi? If yes, and if you want to go through the possible
trouble to install some DOS program, I may have what you want, and you can
contact me by email. The "numerical engine" is pure Standard C, but it is
embedded in old fashioned DOS graphics.
