          second is the first element of a data point (see below). The 
          return value must be a number.  Since automatic differentiation 
          is used to obtain the derivatives with respect to the parameters,

          data point is a tuple of length two or three. Its first element 
          specifies the independent variables of the model. It is passed to
          the model function as its first parameter, but not used in any 
          other way. The second element of each data point tuple is the 
          number that the return value of the model function is supposed to
          match as well as possible. The third element (which defaults to 
          1.) is the statistical variance of the data point, i.e. the 
          inverse of its statistical weight in the fitting procedure.</li>
