Least squares fitting and uncertainties

This week we're looking in more detail about how to fit a model to data and how to assess uncertainties.

Schedule:

Section Description
Least Squares Fitting Introduction to least squares fitting
Choosing a function How to choose what function to fit
Uncertainties Uncertainties on fits

Setup:

You shouldn't need to install any new packages for this section.

You'll need the BoltData.csv file that we've used before in the first section.

In sections 2 and 3 you'll need LMC_Cepheids.csv and HV00872_phot.csv. Save these files somewhere you can easily find them.
