I think i was not clear... initially i tried to fit a 
quadratic polynomial but didnot find any direct function in 
matlab to find the minimum value of the polynomial thus 
whether we have such a function in matlab was my first 
question...
then i tried to fit a spline(cubic curve) to the same data 
because i found a function 'fnmin' which gives me the 
minimum val and its site if i give a spline as input... 
that was the second part of the mail (both mutually 
exclusive events)
however in this second part i think i made some mistake in 
the syntax and therefore got wrong results and i wanted 
some help on the systax.... 

Roger,
thanks for the info ... I am trying to understand what you 
have said there.... but not successful yet... let me think 
more.
