/**
 
Extension of the FCNBase for the Fumili method. Fumili applies only to
minimization problems used for fitting. The method is based on a
linearization of the model function negleting second derivatives.
User needs to provide the model function. In this cased the function
to be minimized is the sum of the logarithms of the model function
for the different measurements times -1.
