The characteristic measure generally accepted for meaningful comparisons
is the "reduced_chi_sqr" rather than chi_sqr itself. The reduced_chi_sqr
is defined as chi_sqr divided by the number of degrees of freedom:
num_free = num_pnts - num_params
number_degrees_freedom = number_points - number_model_parameters
