Named numeric, shape of box; if 0 a quadratic prior is obtained, the higher k the more box shape, gradient at border of the box (-sigma, sigma) is equal to sigma*k
fixed
Named numeric with fixed parameter values (contribute to the prior value but not to gradient and Hessian)
Value
list with entries: value (numeric, the weighted residual sum of squares),
gradient (numeric, gradient) and
hessian (matrix of type numeric).
