NIST/ITL StRD Dataset Name: Lanczos1 (Lanczos1.dat) File Format: ASCII Starting Values (lines 41 to 46) Certified Values (lines 41 to 51) Data (lines 61 to 84) Procedure: Nonlinear Least Squares Regression Description: These data are taken from an example discussed in Lanczos (1956). The data were generated to 14-digits of accuracy using f(x) = 0.0951*exp(-x) + 0.8607*exp(-3*x) + 1.5576*exp(-5*x). Reference: Lanczos, C. (1956). Applied Analysis.
