You might be able to construct a better fit by manually setting up the
optimization and then choosing initial values that are your guesses
for the parameters of the model. Finally, *if* your model is correct,
I think the residuals will be normally distributed about the
prediction of the function.

In other words:
(correctFunction/@xdata)-functionData

should give a list of normally distributed numbers
