?In planet lisp and in the lispwork list, D. McClain is offering? some math software, for example for computing linear least-squares fit using Peter Stetson tecnique. I just posted to that list to suggest that perhaps some code could be used in maxima.?

I just noticed you were responding particularly to the math
stuff... In the VMath repository, there is a package called LINFIT,
which is far far more than a mere linear least-squares fitting
procedure. Rather it is Peter Stetson's technique for weighted linear
fitting by iterating against outliers. Peter's work is well worth
