Ah, if only such a team existed. :-) The users, the developers, and

Based on the highly statistical nature of the questions you posed, you
might be better off using R (and its help team ;-] ) for this problem.
In fact, I'm rather surprised you hadn't hear about R if this is
indeed the case; I was under the impression that it was a de facto
standard in the statistics community:

I've never used R myself, but I'll be very surprised if it's unable to
do nonlinear optimisation, at least for the problem you require.
