In the above command, parameters (15), (16), (17) and (18) form a set and can be appended as many groups as the
analyst wishes.
The surface is assumed to possess the following form,
\[
f=\sum_{i=1}^na_ip^{b_i}m_s^{c_i}m_w^{d_i}-e.
\]
For example, the surface \(f=1.15p^2+m_s^2+m_w^4+3.67p^2m_s^2+3p^6m_w^2+4.65m_s^4m_w^2-c\) can be expressed as follows.

The only validation implemented is the number of triplets.
The command takes \(4n\) parameters and interprets them accordingly.
Please make sure the definition is correct.
