Hayter (1992-2003). The statistical and error estimation concepts used therein are described in the following works: (a) Bevington, P. R. Data Reduction and Error Analysis for the Physical Sciences; McGraw-Hill: New York, 1969; Chapter 11; (b) Press, W. H.; Teukolsky, S. A.; Vetterling, W. T.; Flannery, B. P. Numerical Recipes in Pascal; Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, England, 1989; Chapter 15. The minimization routine employed by the MIRROR program is the downhill simplex method: Nelder, J. A.; Mead, R. Comput J 1965, 7, 308. The implementation is described in Chapter 10.4 in ref. 46(b).
