I have some data that extends into the 18 to 24 bit range and of course
it changes over temperature. I'm measuring temp also.
Our measured noise coming off the A/D is +/- 10, very very quiet

Non-linear regression is getting to be a bugger as the numbers can
become very large even at the 3rd order. The max number that I can
Effectively cube is something like 1290 which gets you to the top of
double precision signed numbers. The 3rd degree poly below is a good
example.

I have data that tops somewhere around 12,000,000 and at the low end
its around 100,000. If I start pre-scaling then I'm into keeping track
of how much pre-scaling to apply verses loss of resolution... LOGS?

John Harts book which is referenced in the SwiftX refs is out of print.
I've tried to locate a used one without luck.

Any ideas
