Levenberg-Marquardt
• What if it doesn’t converge?
– Multiply diagonal by (1 + λ), increase λ until it does
– Halve the step size Δm (my favorite)
– Use line search
– Other ideas?
• Uncertainty analysis:  covariance Σ = A-1
• Is maximum likelihood the best idea?
• How to start in vicinity of global minimum?
