What does this error message mean?

I've got two vectors:
times =
0 0.0005 0.0050 0.0500 0.5000 5.0000
mittel =
0 2.0505 5.7940 8.8363 14.1563 35.6821
I would like to fit two functions to these vectors:
func1 = 'y ~ b0*(x + b1)^(1/2)';
fitresult = NonLinearModel.fit(times,mittel,func1,[ 2.775e+06 0.008033 ]);
and
func2 = 'y ~ b0*(x + b1)^(1/3)';
fitresult2 = NonLinearModel.fit(times,mittel,func2,[2.1e+01 0 ]);
The first works absolutly fine, but the second gives me an error I don't understand:
Error using internal.stats.getscheffeparam>ValidateParameters (line 182)
If non-empty, JW must be a numeric, real matrix.
Error in internal.stats.getscheffeparam (line 110)

For some reason the model is returning an imaginary component. I would contact tech support, that error message is useless.

Probably because (x+b1).^(1/3) is being used instead of nthroot(x+b1,3). E.g.,
>> (-1)^(1/3)
ans =
0.5000 + 0.8660i
>> nthroot(-1,3)
ans =
-1

In addition to the need for nthroot(q,3) instead of q^(1/3), your model equations are non-differentiable w.r.t. b1. This makes me wonder if the Jacobian calculations are creating trouble.
I recommend FMINSPLEAS ( Download ) for your problem, since it does not rely on differentiability. Also, it can take advantage of the fact your model is linear w.r.t. b0.

As an example
z=[times(:),ones(numel(times),1)]\mittel(:).^3;
b1start=z(2)./z(1); %starting guess for b1
[b1,b0]=fminspleas( {@(b1,x) nthroot(x + b1, 3)}, b1start, times, mittel)

For whatever reason, nlinfit does not have a problem with either one:
func1 = @(b,x) b(1).*(x + b(2)).^(1/2);
func2 = @(b,x) b(1).*(x + b(2)).^(1/3);
B1 = nlinfit(times, mittel, func1, [ 2.775e+06 0.008033 ])
B2 = nlinfit(times, mittel, func2, [2.1e+01 0 ])
producing:
B1 =
16.2925e+000 47.9075e-003
B2 =
20.5786e+000 -850.3513e-021i 6.1977e-012 +156.4066e-024i
but it returns complex parameter estimates for ‘B2’, although with negligible imaginary components.
