Hello. Do you know the rationale behind the (very) small values for DEFAULT_RELATIVE_THRESHOLD (set to 100 * Precision.EPSILON) DEFAULT_ABSOLUTE_THRESHOLD (set to 100 * Precision.SAFE_MIN) in "AbstractConvergenceChecker"? [I created this class as part of a refactoring, but the values were carrie

Hi. I think that "PolynomialFitter" class deserves to be deleted. It looks like a bad use of inheritance because it cannot prevent bad usage of its base class's "fit" methods (where a user can provide a parametric function argument that is not a polynomial). Issue 798 could be solved by providin
