atmSelect - specify which atoms will be used in the fit
mSelect - specify method of regularizing the
inverse of the covariance matrix -
if 0 use perturbative approach - add a small value to
the diagonal. If 1 use diagonal elements as ``eigenvalues,''
and follow the scheme of ref. FIX ME.
verbose - if True, print out intermediate values of log likelihood
and RMSD.
Return a list of tuples describing the range of ordered residues, each
of which contains (segid,(first,last)), where first and last denote
first and last resid in the ordered range.
A residue is defined as ordered if the average positional RMSD of
selected atoms of that residue are less than threshold.
If selection is not specified, self.atmSelect will be used.
