//! Robust least squares methods
//!
//! This module provides M-estimators that are less sensitive to outliers than standard least squares.
//! The key idea is to use a different loss function that reduces the influence of large residuals.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```
//! use ndarray::{array, Array1, Array2};
//! use scirs2_optimize::least_squares::robust::{robust_least_squares, HuberLoss, RobustOptions};
//!
//! // Define a function that returns the residuals
//! fn residual(x: &[f64], data: &[f64]) -> Array1<f64> {
//!     let n = data.len() / 2;
//!     let t_values = &data[0..n];
//!     let y_values = &data[n..];
//!     
//!     let mut res = Array1::zeros(n);
//!     for i in 0..n {
//!         // Model: y = x[0] + x[1] * t
//!         res[i] = y_values[i] - (x[0] + x[1] * t_values[i]);
//!     }
//!     res
//! }
//!
//! // Define the Jacobian
//! fn jacobian(x: &[f64], data: &[f64]) -> Array2<f64> {
//!     let n = data.len() / 2;
//!     let t_values = &data[0..n];
//!     
//!     let mut jac = Array2::zeros((n, 2));
//!     for i in 0..n {
//!         jac[[i, 0]] = -1.0;
//!         jac[[i, 1]] = -t_values[i];
//!     }
//!     jac
//! }
//!
//! # fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
//! // Create data with outliers (concatenated x and y values)
//! let data = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 0.1, 0.9, 2.1, 2.9, 10.0];
//!
//! // Initial guess
//! let x0 = array![0.0, 0.0];
//!
//! // Solve using Huber loss for robustness
//! let loss = HuberLoss::new(1.0);
//! let result = robust_least_squares(
//!     residual,
//!     &x0,
//!     loss,
