 We generate the data with known mean and accuracy values, fit the model using our function, and then confirm that our estimates are basically equal to the actual values. We use `np.allclose()` rather than a test for equality because sometimes the values will be off by a very small amount due to the numerical precision of the computer; an equality test would treat those as different, but `np.allclose` allows some tolerance in its test.
