1. A computer-implemented method for curve fitting, the method comprising:

  • (a) storing a plurality of data points in a memory of the computer;

    (b) generating a curve based on two or more random points of the plurality of data points;

    (c) testing the curve against a first subset of the plurality of data points, wherein the first subset is less than all of the plurality of data points, wherein said testing produces first test results;

    (d) performing (b) and (c) a plurality of times to determine a curve which meets first criteria, wherein said performing (b) and (c) a plurality of times comprises performing (b) and (c) in an iterative manner until ending criteria are met; and

    (e) if said first test results meet said first criteria, storing information regarding the curve, wherein said information specifies a curve fit of the plurality of data points.
