Quoting directly from the manual for CURVEFIT:

Calling Sequence:

Result = CURVEFIT(X, Y, Weights, A [, Sigma])

A:
A vector with as many elements as the number of terms in the
user-supplied function, containing the initial estimate for each
parameter. On return, the vector A contains the fitted model parameters.
If A is double-precision, calculations are performed in double-precision
arithmetic, otherwise they are performed in single-precision arithmetic.

Sigma:
A named variable that will contain a vector of standard deviations for
the elements of the output vector A.
