Remarks

Use the RationalCurve class to represent a rational function that can be used in non-linear least squares fitting.

A rational curve is a quotient of two polynomials. The degree of the polynomials must be specified when the curve is constructed. A rational curve has n+d+1 parameters, where n is the degree of the polynomial in the numerator, and d is the degree of the polynomial in the denominator. The first n+1 parameters are the coefficients of the polynomial in the numerator, starting with the constant term. The remaining d parameters are the coefficients of the polynomial in the denominator, starting with the linear term. The polynomial in the denominator always has constant term 1.
