+"""
+Weighted Least Squares (WLS) IVIM fitting.
+
+Author: Devguru Tiwari, IIIT Nagpur
+Date: 2026-03-01
+
+Implements a segmented approach for IVIM parameter estimation:
+1. Estimate D from high b-values using weighted linear regression on log-signal
+2. Estimate f from the intercept of the Step 1 fit
+3. Estimate D* from residuals at low b-values using weighted linear regression
+
+Weighting follows Veraart et al. (2013): weights = signal^2 to account
+for heteroscedasticity introduced by the log-transform.
