Description

#46 added support for determining uncertainties in best-fit PSF parameters. The added tests verify that the added methodology works (i.e. fit returns a covariance matrix for the best-fit parameters) but does not yet have full tests confirming the validity of the returned covariance matrix. This issue can be closed when we are happy with the tests for fit that confirm the validity of the returned uncertainties.

Research direction

Start by reading the existing fit uncertainty tests added in #46 and inspect how fit returns its covariance matrix. Add tests that confirm the returned uncertainties are valid; the issue is done when those validity checks pass alongside the existing methodology tests.
