r"""
This model calculates a simple power law with a flat background.

Definition
----------

.. math::

    I(q) = \text{scale} \cdot q^{-\text{power}} + \text{background}

Note the minus sign in front of the exponent. The exponent *power*
should therefore be entered as a **positive** number for fitting.

Also note that unlike many other models, *scale* in this model
is NOT explicitly related to a volume fraction. Be careful if
combining this model with other models.
