Program QUAD has been written to fit a quadratic function

to a tabulated representation of an dimensional hypersurface y = y(X) which is given at points. Therefore,

In equation (1), the indices i and j both range from 1 through Nc where Nc is the number of independent variables . The data are assumed to be arbitrarily spaced. The fitting criterion used to determine the and the is least-squares deviation of f(X|A) from the given data points y(X).
