/** @interface IModelFunction
*
* Interface of model function for fitting (for advanced users).
*
* OPEN QUESTIONS:
*
* How to treat normalization at user level? Two possibilities:
* - we have "Gauss" and "NormalizedGauss", the first one user cannot
* use for ML fit
* - we have only one "Gauss" function, but it's smart and when normalized,
* gets rid of one of its parameters
*
* Normalization range might be set directly on the function by the user?
* Now we set it in the data pipe, Victor thinks that it is not very clear
* and should be on the function ;)
