If the <code>\CL</code> qualifier is used, a new scalar, named <font color="orange"><code>FIT$CL</code>
</font>, will be made with value equal to the confidence level:</P>

<IMG SRC="img72.gif"></P>
<P>
where <i>n</i> is the degrees of freedom, usually equal to the number of data
points minus the number of parameters, <i>(N-M)</i>. The confidence level is the probability that
a random repeat of the given experiment would observe a worse <code>&chi<sup>2</sup></code>, assuming
the correctness of the model.</P>
