fitting script

yakir — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 21:07:02 -0500

I am trying to make a simple fit and I just don't get things right.

I am trying to fit for the function y=a*sin(b*x+c)
I have the variable
y=[1,1.1............]
and
x=[0,0.2,..............]

those hold the information to fit by

if can someone write the script that will give me a, b and c properly
it will be very helpful
thanks

I would suggest using the curve fitting Toolbox. Just type 'cftool' in the command line, import your x and y data, and select the type of fit you're looking for - in this case, Sum of Sin Functions. Once satisfied with the fit, you can generate an M-file from the File menu and modify it if you wish.

hope it helps,

If you don't have the curve fitting toolbox, you can try EzyFit from the file exchange.
