Just like the title says, passing an extra keyword argument corresponding to scipy's `curve_fit` throws an exception. The [documentation](https://docs.xarray.dev/en/stable/generated/xarray.DataArray.curvefit.html) has a parameter section that says: ``` *kwargs (optional) – Additional keyword arguments to passed to scipy curve_fit ``` So if one specifies a `method=""trf""` keyword argument to the `.curvefit` method, you get an error: `TypeError: curvefit() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method'` The only way it works as expected is if I pass the keyword arguments as dictionary elements via a `kwargs` argument like so: `kwargs={""method"": ""trf""}`. This behaviour contradicts what is mentioned in the docstring. ### What did you expect to happen? No error thrown ### Minimal Complete Verifiable Example ```Python import pandas as pd import xarray as xr import numpy as np da = xr.DataArray( np.random.rand(4, 3), [ (""time"", pd.date_range(""2000-01-01"", periods=4)), (""space"", [""IA"", ""IL"", ""IN""]), ], ) da.curvefit(coords=[""time""], func=lambda x, params: x, method=""trf"") ``` ### MVCE confirmation - [X] Minimal example — the example is as focused as reasonably possible to demonstrate the underlying issue in xarray. - [X] Complete example — the example is self-contained, including all data and the text of any traceback. - [X] Verifiable example — the example copy & pastes into an IPython prompt or [Binder notebook](https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/pydata/xarray/main?urlpath=lab/tree/doc/examples/blank_template.ipynb), returning the result. - [X] New issue — a search of GitHub Issues suggests this is not a duplicate. ### Relevant log output ```Python TypeError: curvefit() got an unexpected keyword argument 'method' ``` ### Anything else we need to know? _No response_ ### Environment
