Easan,
I think your example contains some typos. You indicate z is the
dependent variable and your function is defined with t. You define the
function as fun and in NonlinearRegress you type func. If I try the
following:
NonlinearRegress[data,
N[func[t,a,b]] ,t, {{a,{-100,-101}},{b,{2,3}}},
RegressionReport -> BestFitParameters,
Method->FindMinimum,
ShowProgress -> True] then everything works fine.
All the best
