What Does This Mean?

You have now read more than you ever wanted to know about function minimization methods. The basic facts which have been presented are that the methods commonly used find difficult cases where there are correlation between parameters and where the diagonal elements for some parameters differ from the average. These two limitations are the source of most problems in refinement.
