Test Function #33 Dimensionality 5
Problem type: calibration

Calibration technique: sequential calibration using a set of random initial values (realizations = 1)
Optimization method: opt=lm | Levenberg-Marquardt optimization
Number of Levenberg-Marquardt iterations = will be computed internally

Global termination criteria:
1: Maximum number of evaluations = 5000
2: Objective function cutoff value: NOT implemented (ADD keyword cutoff=[value] to implement)
3: Observations within defined calibration ranges: NOT implemented (ADD keyword success to implement)
Objective function: sum of squared residuals

Sin transformation of the model parameters is applied!

Debug level (general): debug=0

WARNING: Input file is not needed because this is a test problem!
