    352352difference between the experimental data and the theory) at the same X-data values.

    354355The objective of model-fitting is to find a *physically-plausible* model, and set 
     
    373374fit of the theory to the experimental data improves the value of 'chi2/Npts' will 
    374375decrease. A good model fit should easily produce values of 'chi2/Npts' that are 
    375 close to zero, and certainly <100. 
     376close to one, and certainly <100. See :ref:`Assessing_Fit_Quality`.

    3983992\ *n* graphs (*n* of the data and model fit, and *n* of the resulting residuals). But 
    399 it may be helpful to minimise the residuals plots for clarity.
