Fit is defined only for numeric data, so... assuming that other kinds of data leads to evaluation of some function "g" which you can define, here's a solution: ClearAll[f] f[x:{{_?NumericQ, _?NumericQ}, {_?NumericQ, _?NumericQ}}] := Block[{y}, Fit[x, {1, y}, y]] f[x:{{_?AtomQ, _?AtomQ}, {_?AtomQ, _?AtomQ}}] := g[x] f[{a__}] := f /@ {a} Testing: atom1 = {{a61, y61}, {a62, y62}}; atom2 = {{1, 2}, {3, 4}}; xx = {atom1, atom2}; f[atom1] f[atom2] f[xx] f[{atom1, xx, atom2}] g[{{a61, y61}, {a62, y62}}] 0.9999999999999988 + 1.0000000000000002*y {g[{{a61, y61}, {a62, y62}}], 0.9999999999999988 + 1.0000000000000002*y} {g[{{a61, y61}, {a62, y62}}], {g[{{a61, y61}, {a62, y62}}], 0.9999999999999988 + 1.0000000000000002*y}, 0.9999999999999988 + 1.0000000000000002*y} Bobby "Nico" <pipponep at hotmail.com> wrote in message news:<bsrhq7$qj7$1 at smc.vnet.net>... > Thanks you all for your replies. > Indeed, what you suggested only solves my partially my issue.
