+  * **Objective function which we want to minimize** (not editable) - It is used for evaluating the goodness of fit of the optimization – the lower the value of this function, the better is the fit. It is calculated for each iteration and iterations are continued if the objective function is getting lower values, until the termination tolerance is reached or the user-specified maximum number of simulations is reached
