Generally there is some physical principle that determines the curve you should 
be fitting -- is that true in this case?

Getting off-topic a bit, but curve fitting being a hobby of mine, I used a 
function 0.005276*(exp(7.66x)-1)+0.66 which is guaranteed monotonic and fit 
pretty well.  I didn't even bother with Octave, just fit it in Excel using 
Solver.
