I'm using Lubuntu 15.04. VERSION gives me 0.3.2 and x86_64-linux-gnu.
However, I'm getting this error after changing WalkingRandomly's demo:
"ERROR: `curve_fit` has no method matching curve_fit(::Function,
::Array{Float64,1}, ::Array{Float64,1}, ::Array{Float64,1})"
What it suggests is
# 2 methods for generic function "curve_fit":
curve_fit{T}(::Type{T},x,y) at
/home/paul/.julia/v0.3/CurveFit/src/linfit.jl:72
curve_fit{T}(::Type{T},x,y,args...) at
/home/paul/.julia/v0.3/CurveFit/src/linfit.jl:73
What is the difference between WR's example and what is suggested?
I'm trying nonlinear_fit(), but the example in the readme is rather obtuse.
