Statistical problems
"Simple" problem.I have three possibilities to model a single object. Those models have different number of free-parameters. Reduced Chi^2 and residua are affected by this different amount of free-parameters in a way that systematically larger number of free-parameters, "better" fits, according to these indicators. Unfortunately this is not true, specially if we consider physical meanings.
Can anyone give me some light on that?? :-))))

With enough number of free parameters you can fit an elephant.
In my opinion the important information is not in the fit itself but in its deviations.
But which ones? I need numbers to automatically quantify the best model ... any suggestion?
