    """Estimate amplitude and phase of an approximately sinusoidal quantity
    using `scipy.optimize.curve_fit`.

    Phase is defined as the angle at which the cosine curve fit reaches its
    first peak. It is assumed that phase is positive. For example:

        data_fit = amp*np.cos(npeaks*(angle - phase)) + mean_data

    Parameters
    ----------
    angle : numpy array
        Time series of angle values in radians
    data : numpy array
        Time series of data to be fit
    npeaks : int
        Number of peaks per revolution, or normalized frequency
    min_phase : float
        Minimum phase to allow for guess to least squares fit

    Returns
    -------
    amp : float
        Amplitude of regressed cosine
    phase : float
        Angle of the first peak in radians
