2Specify weights for each objective function

4Description::
5Specifies relative emphasis through weights (multipliers) w on
6residual elements: \f[ f = \sum_{i=1}^{n} w_i R_i^2 = \sum_{i=1}^{n}
7w_i (y^{Model}_i - y^{Data}_i)^2 \f]

9Length: The \c weights must have length equal to \ref
10responses-calibration_terms. Thus, when scalar and/or field responses
11are specified, the number of \c weights must equal the number of
12scalars plus the number of fields, \e not the total elements in the
13fields.
14
15<b>Default Behavior</b> If weights are not specified, then each
16residual is given equal weighting.
17
18<b>Usage Tips:</b>
19
20Weights are applied as multipliers, scales as charateristic values /
21divisors.
22
23When scaling is active, it is applied to calibration terms after any
24residual formation (accounting for experimental data and optionally
25measurement error covariance), and before any weights. See the
26equations in \ref responses-calibration_terms.
