Fitting service interface.

A fit consists of a set of models and a fitting engine.  The models are
collected in an assembly, which manages the parameter set and the
constraints between them.  The models themselves are tightly coupled
to the data that they are modeling and the data is invisible to the fit.

The fitting engine can use a variety of methods depending on model.


Usage
=====

The fitter can be run directly on the local machine::

    import park
    M1 = park.models.Peaks(datafile=park.sampledata('peak.dat'))
    M1.add_peak('P1', 'gaussian', A=[4,6], mu=[0.2, 0.5], sigma=0.1)
    result = park.fit(models=[M1])
    print result

The default settings print results every time the fit improves, and
print a global result when the fit is complete.  This is a suitable
interface for a fitting script.

For larger fit jobs you will want to run the fit on a remote server.
The model setup is identical, but the fit call is different::

    service = park.FitService('server:port')
    result = park.fit(models=[M1], service=service)
    print result

Again, the default settings print results every time the fit improves,
and print a global result when the fit is complete.

For long running fit jobs, you want to be able to disconnect from
the server after submitting the job, and later reconnect to fetch
the results.  An additional email field will send notification by
email when the fit starts and ends, and daily updates on the status
of all fits::

    service = park.FitService('server:port')
    service.notify(email='me@my.email.address',update='daily')
    fit = park.Fit(models=[M1])
    id = service.submit_job(fit, jobname='peaks')
    print id

The results can be retrieved either by id returned from the server,
or by the given jobname::

    import park
    service = park.FitService('server:port',user='userid')
    fitlist = service.retrieve('peaks')
    for fit in fitlist:
        print fit.summary()

The fit itself is a complicated object, including the model, the
optimizer, and the type of uncertainty analysis to perform.

GUI Usage
=========

When used from a graphical user interface, a different programming
interface is needed.  In this case, the user may want to watch
the progress of the fit and perhaps stop it.  Also, as fits can
take some time to complete, the user would like to be able to
set up additional fits and run them at the same time, switching
between them as necessary to monitor progress.
