"""
Solve a weighted least-squares problem with optional damping regularization
Scales the Jacobian matrix so that each column has unit variance. This
helps keep the regularization parameter in a sensible range. The scaling is
undone before returning the estimated parameters so that scaling isn't
required for predictions. Doesn't normalize the column means because that
operation can't be undone.
.. warning::
Setting `copy_jacobian` to True will copy the Jacobian matrix, doubling
the memory required. Use it only if the Jacobian matrix is needed
afterwards.
Parameters
----------
jacobian : 2d-array
The Jacobian/sensitivity/feature matrix.
data : 1d-array
The data array. Must be a single 1D array. If fitting multiple data
components, stack the arrays and the Jacobian matrices.
weights : None or 1d-array
The data weights. Like the data, this must also be a 1D array. Stack
the weights in the same order as the data. Use ``weights=None`` to fit
without weights.
damping : None or float
The positive damping (Tikhonov 0th order) regularization parameter. If
``damping=None``, will use a regular least-squares fit.
copy_jacobian: bool
If False, the Jacobian matrix will be scaled inplace. If True, the
Jacobian matrix will be copied before scaling. Default False.
Returns
-------
parameters : 1d-array
The estimated 1D array of parameters that fit the data.
