/*Extended Yet Another Curve Fitting Solution (The poor man's RMA)

  An extension of yacfs.mod adding a Weight parameter:
    When set to 1 the model produces best fit by least squares with all error in y and none in x (YonX);
    When set to zero the model produces best fit by least squares with all error in x and none in y (XonY);
    When set to 0.5 the model assumes equal error in x and y producing results similar to fitting by Reduced Major Axis Analysis.
