I think the problem is how compare the "goodness of fit" between two curves. The chisqure from the gnuplot depends on the magnitude on the axis. So if I compare two lineal fit with different magnitudes the chisqure will be different, also if the two fits look nice. Pearson coefficient could help us, but ¿how we can use the chisqure to do the comparision?. 
Im not know anything about statistic, so may be nice get a "recipe-like" solution. I beg your perdon for add a question and not an answer.
