[SciPy-user] Estimation of parameters while fitting data

Hi Doreen,

Minpack expects an array type to be returned. You're returning a
python list. So try this:

def residuals(p,y,t):
    return array([V - S(t_val,p) for t_val in t])

Here I've also removed the unnecessary i index variable -- Python lets
you iterate directly over the contents of the list t.
