Hi,
my problem is the following:
I have difined a function as following, in order to use in a nonlinear
bestfit containing a numerical integration (work on WinNT 4.0 and
Mathematica 3.0)

<<Statistics`NonlinearFit`
pars={a,b,c}(*parameters for the fit*)
pars0={.......}(*starting parameters of pars*)
A(X)=Exp[-a/X]
K(X)=Exp[-b/X]

f[(T_)?Number,(a_)?Number,(b_)?Number,(c_)?Number]:=
(b*K(T)/(K(T)+1)^2)*Exp[-costant*Module[{X},NIntegrate[A(X)*K(X)/(K(X)+1)),{X,Ton,T}]

the output is a error messagge:

NIntegrate::"nlim": "\!\(X$1\) = \!\(T\) is not a valid limit of
integration."
NIntegrate::"nlim": "\!\(X$1\) = \!\(T\) is not a valid limit of
integration."
NIntegrate::"nlim": "\!\(X$1\) = \!\(T\) is not a valid limit of
integration."
General::"stop":
    "Further output of \!\(NIntegrate :: \"nlim\"\) will be suppressed
during \
this calculation."

In[19]:=

fitted=NonlinearFit[data,Cp[T,pars],pars,T,MaxIterations->3000,
    Errors\[Rule]1.0,InitialGuess\[Rule]pars0,ProgressTrace\[Rule]True]

NonlinearFit::"toomany":
    "Too many variables have been provided for the size of the data;
given \!\
\(2\)-tuples for data, given \!\(4\) variables."

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
