Calculating error in coefficients returned by fit function

3 views (last 30 days)
Hi, so I have a set of data which I'm fitting to a custom-defined curve using the fit function and the appropriate fittype options.
There are three coefficients that the fit function is calculating for me. What I'm trying to determine is the error associated with each of these coefficients.
My set of data points has error bars associated with it, which I am giving to to the fit function in the form of weights, and doing a weighted fit. I can return the confidence intervals for the coefficients, but I'm not exactly sure what those mean, or how I'd use them to calculate the error associated with each coefficient.
Anyone have experience with this who could help me? Thanks!
