Call MPFITFUN twice, once with parameter -1 fixed, once with 1 fixed, and
compare the resulting Chi-square. Or alter your code such that [-1,0]
maps to -1, and [0,1] maps to 1. This method is fairly rude, because the
fitter will take tiny steps looking for any change, and finding none, may
get quite confused.
