Hi. I have a question regarding the use of constraints in FindFit.
In the version 6 the following command
FindFit[{{0., 1.}, {1., -1}}, {a x + b, b==0}, {a, b}, x]
yields a -> -1, b -> 0 (b==0 is a constraint).
I find in the version 7 that the same command produces an error of
the type 1/0.
Of course I still could use something like
FindFit[{{0., 1.}, {1., -1}}, {a x + b, Abs[b] < 0.001}, {a, b}, x]
or
With[{b=0},FindFit[{{0., 1.}, {1., -1}}, {a x + b}, {a}, x]
but this is not very natural. Is this a bug or is there a way around?
Regards
