 /**
  * @class OLS
  * @brief Provides functionality for solving Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) problems.
  *
- * Utilizes LAPACK's DGELSD function to solve linear systems where the goal is to minimize 
- * the Euclidean norm of residuals.
+ * Utilizes LAPACK's DGELS and DGELSD functions to solve linear systems where the goal is to minimize 
+ * the Euclidean norm of residuals. By default, it uses DGELSD, but users can select DGELS if desired.
+ *
+ * **Algorithm Selection:**
+ * - **GELSD (`DGELSD`):** Uses a singular value decomposition (SVD) approach, which is more robust and
+ *   can handle rank-deficient or ill-conditioned systems. It can provide a minimum-norm solution and
+ *   handle cases where the matrix `A` does not have full rank. `DGELSD` is recommended when precision
+ *   is important, or when the system may be rank-deficient or ill-conditioned.
+ * - **GELS (`DGELS`):** Uses QR or LQ factorization, which is generally faster but less robust for
+ *   ill-conditioned problems. It assumes that `A` has full rank. `DGELS` is suitable for well-conditioned
+ *   systems where performance is critical and the matrix `A` is expected to have full rank.
+ *
+ * **Usage Recommendation:**
+ * - Use **GELSD** (`Algorithm::GELSD`) when dealing with potentially rank-deficient or ill-conditioned systems,
+ *   or when you require the most accurate solution at the expense of computational time.
+ * - Use **GELS** (`Algorithm::GELS`) when working with well-conditioned systems where speed is more important
+ *   than handling rank deficiency.
+ *
+ * **Workspace Management:**
+ * - The class provides methods to solve the OLS problem with and without providing a preallocated workspace.
+ *   Preallocating the workspace can improve performance when solving multiple problems of the same size.
+ * - If the workspace is insufficient, the `solve_with_workspace` method will automatically reallocate it to
+ *   the required size.
+ *
+ * **Example:**
+ * ```cpp
+ * Matrix A; // Initialize with your data
+ * Vector B; // Initialize with your data
+ * Vector weights(A.cols());
+ *
+ * // Solve using default algorithm (GELSD)
+ * OLS::solve(A, B, weights);
+ *
+ * // Solve using GELS algorithm
+ * OLS::solve(A, B, weights, -1.0, OLS::Algorithm::GELS);
+ * ```
