An error on Matlab 6.1

I am using an example from Matworks but on Matlab version 6.1. The code is on the link:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/stats/curve-fitting-and-distribution-fitting.html

The error occurs on line:

modelFun = @(p,x) p(3) .* (x./p(1)).^(p(2)-1) .* exp(-(x./p(1)).^p(2));

It says that it needs a parentheses on this line.

I thank any help.

Your main error is using that old of a release. :)

Your version of MATLAB is very old (it's over 21 years old!) and predates the introduction of anonymous functions. Anonymous functions were introduced in MATLAB 7.0. Unless you're running this software on a very old version of Windows (I think Windows 2000 is the latest version of Windows listed in the System Requirements) your machine does not satisfy the requirements.

There's a lot of functionality that you'll see in the online documentation that is not available in your release. I strongly suggest you update.
