Think it is difficult
I'm not sure if you mean 'Coming up with a set of fudge factors to get a curve match is difficult.', or 'Coming up with a plausible set of fudge factors is difficult.'

I wouldn't even attempt the latter with only data from a single HC from a given 'family'. I'm grossly unqualified to even offer a guess.

The former is simple algebra though. There is an infinite set of bogus combinations of fudge factors, that will give a curve that appears to be a reasonable match to Bill's data for RAD E. (See attached image.) All output curves are of the equation:

y = k * x^2

User inputs and fudge factors only affect k.

I hope I'm not stating the obvious. Wondering if you're giving me too much credit.
