to apply optimization examples in my case.

The unit tests provide working examples of how to use the
library, e.g.:
https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-math.git;a=blob;f=src/test/java/org/apache/commons/math4/fitting/leastsquares/StraightLineProblem.java
should help you get started.

I have a set of nonlinear equations in the form:

e^(qt)S - e^(rt)K1 = b1
e^(qt)S - e^(rt)K2 = b2
...
e^(qt)S - e^(rt)Kn = bn

r and q are unknown variables (parameters?), while S, t, K1...Kn are known scalars. b1...bn is a set of known scalar observations that could contain
errors.

Since r,q are two unknown variables I could simply solve the set of two equations b1,b2 and find the desired q and r. However, those two particular observations b1 and b2 could contain the most error in observation set data
thus propagating the error to r and q.

How could I use optimization package to find optimal r and q for the entire
set of observations that would minimize the sum of the difference?

Regards,
Vladimir
