Example single exponential relaxation curves illustrating the effects of experimental noise on the fit statistics. (A) A well-determined single exponential with excellent fit statistics as determined by the reduced chi-squared value. The error bars are smaller than the data points. (B) A slightly noisy but well-determined single exponential with acceptable fit statistics. (C) A poorly-determined single exponential with unacceptable fit statistics. Residuals of the fit are shown above each relaxation curve and are scaled by a factor of 100.
