1.22 urf

urf <u>


This command sets the URF (some German: Unterer Relaxations Faktor) for the fit. This value determines who 'fast' the fit will move to its minimum or how much the parameter values are changed in each cycle depending on the deviations. A small value (e.g. 0.1) might lead to a fast convergence but might also miss the minimum. A larger value (e.g. 100.0) will give a slow convergence which more certain finds the minimum, but might be caught in local minima rather than in the global one.

Understood ? Well just try different values until your fit converges nicely to the global minimum.
