This error occurs when you attempt to index into an array using indices that are not positive integers or logical values. Here are some tips for common situations that cause this error message:
1) Double check that your indices are positive integers. Indices in MATLAB cannot be 0, and by default, start with 1.
2) If you are using logical indexing to index into an array, be sure that your index array is of type 'logical', and not a 'double' array of 1s and 0s. You can convert a 'double' array to a logical array before attempting to use logical indexing. For example:
A = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8];
ind_double = [0 1 0 1; 0 1 0 1];
ind_logical = logical(ind_double);
A(ind_logical)
For an index array 'ind', you can check its data type using the 'whos' function:
whos ind
3) If you use floating-point arithmetic to compute an index array, then the array values may not be exact integers. The 'round' function is handy when you know you have an index value that is nearly the integer index that you want. For example,
A = [1 2 3 4; 5 6 7 8];
ind_float = 2.00001;
ind_int = round(ind_float);
A(ind_float)
Below is a way to check if an index array 'ind'' contains exact integer values. This command returns a 'logical' array, where 1 indicates the index value is an exact integer, and 0 indicates it is not.
ind == round(ind)
4) If you assign a variable to the same name as a built-in function in MATLAB, then you will overwrite that function and encounter the error when you attempt to call it. For example,
max = rand(5);
A = rand(5);
max(A)
In this event, rename your variable and clear the old one to proceed:
B = max;
clear max max(A)

"Has this been changed in a recent update of Matlab? (I updated from 2013 to 2017). Before that I never had to convert from double to logical."
R2013a:
>> A=rand(1,3), A([1 0 0])
A =
0.8147 0.9058 0.1270
Subscript indices must either be real positive integers or logicals.
Same with R2010bSP1, which is the oldest MATLAB I happen to have installed at the moment.
If we examine the R14 documentation, https://www.mathworks.com/help/releases/R14/techdoc/matlab.html in the document for " Special Characters [ ] ( ) {} = ' . ... , ; : % ! @ " we see,
"The components of V must be integers to be used as subscripts. An error occurs if any such subscript is less than 1 or greater than the size of X."
This is not a new restriction, and No, there is no setting in MATLAB that could change this.

Iaredi Sabinas's comment should be a valid answer.
It may happen when you have a variable named after an existing matlab function, like min or diff. Matlab thinks you are using the variable instead of the builtin function.
