I'm trying to combine two features of FindFit. The first is constraining the fitting parameters,e.g.
fit = FindFit[data, {model, {a > 0, 1 < \[Omega] < 2}}, {a, \[Omega]}, t]
The second is fitting using the numerical solution to an ODE, e.g.
fit = FindFit[data, model[\[Gamma], a, b][x], {{\[Gamma], .1}, {a, .1}, {b, 1}}, x, PrecisionGoal -> 4, AccuracyGoal -> 4]
However, the straightforward combination of the two fails:
fit = FindFit[data, {model[\[Gamma], a, b][x], {a > 0}}, {{\[Gamma], .1}, {a, .1}, {b, 1}}, x, PrecisionGoal -> 4, AccuracyGoal -> 4]
Out[8]: FindFit[{{0., 2.00953}, {0.2, 1.94523}, {0.4, 1.66468}, {0.6, 1.24228}, {0.8, 0.877598}, {1., 0.441058}, {1.2, 0.0715144}, {1.4, -0.296832}, {1.6, -0.594285}, {1.8, -0.866026}, {2., -1.13808}, {2.2, -1.39392}, {2.4, -1.41179}, <it goes on like this for a while with the data...>, }, {model[\[Gamma], a, b][x], {a > 0}}, {{\[Gamma], 0.1}, {a, 0.1}, {b, 1}}, x, PrecisionGoal -> 4, AccuracyGoal -> 4]
It take it to mean that the command is not recognized with this syntax. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks,
