Output Parameters
           Displays fit results for all groups. These are
               parameter - All used parameters with
                            - parameter number in given group
                            - model number to which the parameter
                              belongs to (in brackets)
                            - name of the parameter
                            - current value
                            - error value of the parameter. This is
                              usually the error estimated from the
                              diagonal elements of the Hessian
                              retrieved from last fit.
                              This error value has to be used with
                              care! If the "error" command was
                              executed before the error is the result
                              of the error command.
                           Tied/fixed parameters are not shown.
                 chi^2   - The Chi square value from last fit.
                 DOF     - Degree of freedoms, i.e. the number of
                           defined data points reduced by the number
                           of free parameters (which are neither
                           fixed or tied to other parameters).
               Chi^2_red - Reduced Chi square value; the chi^2
                           divided by the degree of freedom. Should
                           be near 1 for a good fit.
         Goodness_of_fit - The probability that the fit may
                           contain larger values of chi^2. Should
                           be close to  1 for a good fit.
Side Effects
           None
