Hey all-
I am working on fitting a nonlinear curve function in Origin to a set of data I've taken. The form of the equation is
y = M* (1- (A/x^(1/2))) + K
Where x and y are my data variables, and I am fitting for M, A and K. For some reason, Origin doesn't fit when the exponent attached to the x is less than 1 (ie a fraction).
Often, I get the error ' Fit did not converge - mutual dependency exists between parameters.
You may have overparameterized the fitting function. Fixing one of them may eliminate this problem.'
What can I do to alleviate this issue? Infinite thanks!

Hi coolingc,
I'm not sure, but could you first please check IF your fit function type is OriginC or else. If it is of OriginC, the "1/2" term in your formula becomes 0 because of the integer calculation. Then, eventually your looses the independent variable, and will never converge. If this is the case, you can write 0.5 (as real) or (1.0/2.0) instead of 1/2.
