/** \class SingleValuedCostFunctionv4Template
 * \brief This class is a base for a CostFunction that returns a
 * single value.
 *
 * This class differs from the SingleValuedCostFunction in that it is fine
 * tunned for managing very large numbers of parameters. For example, to be
 * used in conditions where the number of parameters is in the range of
 * thousands or even millions. Due to the large number of parameters, the API
 * of this class avoids any copying of the parameters array, and of the classes
 * that have dimensionality related to the size of the parameters array.
 *
 * As you look at the code of this class, keep in mind that the types
 * ParametersType and DerivativeType will be some sort of array-like type with
 * millions of elements.
 *
 * Derived classes must provide implementations for:
 *  GetValue
 *  GetValueAndDerivative
 *
 * \ingroup Numerics Optimizers
 * \ingroup ITKOptimizersv4
