The documentation describing the `sigma` parameter of the `optimize.curve_fit` function was updated to remove the reference to representing the standard deviation of the data. This is misleading because the `sigma` value is used purely as a relative weighting factor. See also: http://mail.scipy.org/pipermail/scipy-user/2013-February/034191.html
