Abstract
This note develops a modification of standard nonlinear least squares methods with reduced sensitivity to the quality of the initial guess. The technique is presented in the context of least squares fitting of dynamic system models, but may apply to other kinds of problems. The performance of the technique is compared to standard methods for a variety of test problems
