I have a set of data going to be fit in function y=a*x^b
as shown in fig.1


So I selected the built in function allometric1 as the fitting
function. As a result of proper initialization, we had well fitting
curve immediately without clicking iteration.


However, after I chosen iteration, the results were getting worse.
The fitting curve will be converged as the following figure.


I cannot figure out how'd this happen.
Does anyone can give me some suggestions?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi kamitengo,

I suspect that visually strange, but numerically it probably makes sense because your Y scale is Log10-base.
Data points near low boundary contribute little to the Chi^2. I see the Chi^2 value is huge, and immediately
iteration has stopped one step after initial parameters. (You can change the Y scale to linear to see the
"real" fitting situation.)

I suggest you convert your Y values to their log values, then apply to the appropriate function.

Hope this helps.
