In this version I've also rescaled the data to make the results
comparable with Jack's NLS variant.
Oof, another mistake, HHI should not be scaled -- or not without
adjusting the mu, sigma ranges.

HHI *= 100
If you delete that line in the script I posted last you find that
the (mu, sig) choice makes a tiny difference to the fit, with an
apparent max at (0.3, 0.01). But we're talking about the 4th
decimal place in the R^2.
