55// <synopsis>
56// Describes a function that can be used to fit for spectral index and higher order terms.
57// The implementation simply subclasses PolynomialSpectralElement since that's all this function
58// really is, whicht the exception the the lhs is ln(y) not y. This means it's the fitter
59// configurator's responsibility to pass in the ln of the actual ordinate values and the ln
60// of the abscissa values, not the ordinate and abscissa values themselves. Essentially, this
61// class differs from PolynomialSpectralElement in its type and its stream operator.
