why do I see error in curve fitting?

13 views (last 30 days)
What I try to run the below example given under the link : https://in.mathworks.com/help/curvefit/fit.html
clear; close all; clc;
load census;
f=fit(cdate,pop,'poly2');
plot(f,cdate,pop);
it throws following error...
Unable to resolve the name curvefit.attention.Error.
Error in fit>iCreateErrorFunction (line 631)
errorFcn = curvefit.attention.Error();
Error in fit (line 107)
errorFcn = iCreateErrorFunction( nargout > 4 );
Can anyone please help?

Thank you for the clarification..
How about the other way round? I have 2017 matlab too.. Can I Copy-Paste 2017 toolbox to 2021 matlab folder and then add to 2021matlab path?

It is possible for that message to show up if you have the Curve Fitting Toolbox installed, but somehow do not have a license to use it.
For individual licenses, it is typically only possible to install toolboxes you have a license for, but there are some situations in which it is possible.
