(see Section 14.13.1)
Usage: [RSS, XYproj] = Residuals_hyperbola(XY,ParG)
Input: XY(n,2) is the array of coordinates of n points
x(i)=XY(i,1), y(i)=XY(i,2)
ParG is a vector 5x1 of the hyperbola parameters
ParG = [Center(1:2), Axes(1:2), Angle]'
Center - the coordinates of the hyperbola's center
Axes - the axes (major, minor)
Angle - the angle of tilt of the hyperbola
Note: if hyperbola is defined by equation
x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2=1,
then Center=(0,0),Axes=(a,b),Angle=0
Output: RSS is the Residual Sum of Squares (the sum of squares of the distances)
XYproj is the array of coordinates of projections
This algorithm is proven to converge and reaches an accuracy of 7-8 significant digit. It takes 6-7 iterations per point, on average
