    <p>A dataframe with the following components:</p>
<dt>err.min</dt><dd><p>The relative error, expressed as a fraction.</p></dd>
  <dt>n.optim</dt><dd><p>The number of optimised parameters attributed to the data series.</p></dd>
  <dt>df</dt><dd><p>The number of remaining degrees of freedom for the chi2 error level
    calculations.  Note that mean values are used for the chi2 statistic and
    therefore every time point with observed values in the series only counts
    one time.</p></dd>
  The dataframe has one row for the total dataset and one further row for
  each observed state variable in the model.
