// Purpose: Abstract base for the chisq fitter classes.
//          This allows for different algorithms to be used.

//   bool test_gradient - If true, check the constraint gradient calculations
//                        by also doing them numerically.
//   float test_step    - When test_gradient is true, the step size to use
//                        for numeric differentiation.
//   float test_eps     - When test_gradient is true, the maximum relative
//                        difference permitted between returned and
//                        numerically calculated gradients.
