Hi there,
I encounter the following problem when fitting a complicated function using FindFit: when running
BBWorigin =
FindFit[Data2, {CHFSorigin[x] /. ABWorigin /. ABW /. BBW /. CBW /.
DBW /. FGW} , {{COorigin, 4.3}}, {x}, MaxIterations -> 1000]
where I previously defined the function CHFSorigin and where the rules ABWorigin, ABW, BBW, CBW, DBW and FGW were also defined, I obtain the following output by mathematica:
{COorigin -> 4.3}
FindFit::fmgz: Encountered a gradient that is effectively zero. The \
result returned may not be a minimum; it may be a maximum or a saddle \
point. >>
My first reaction was to change COorigin to a different value, but that did not change the result, i.e. the fit always stopped at the initial value. Does anybody have
any ideas about how to progress from here?
Best wishes, and thanks a lot,
Christian
