/**
 * Simple implementation of the {@link EstimationProblem
 * EstimationProblem} interface for boilerplate data handling.
 * <p>This class only handles parameters and measurements
 * storage and unbound parameters filtering. It does not compute
 * anything by itself. It should either be used with measurements
 * implementation that are smart enough to know about the
 * various parameters in order to compute the partial derivatives
 * appropriately. Since the problem-specific logic is mainly related to
 * the various measurements models, the simplest way to use this class
 * is by extending it and using one internal class extending
 * {@link WeightedMeasurement WeightedMeasurement} for each measurement
 * type. The instances of the internal classes would have access to the
 * various parameters and their current estimate.</p>

 * @since 1.2
 * @deprecated as of 2.0, everything in package org.apache.commons.math.estimation has
 * been deprecated and replaced by package org.apache.commons.math.optimization.general
