hello
see example below :

% data
x = (0:100);
b = 1.5;
a = 2.35;
y = a + b*x + 3*randn(size(x));
% Fit a polynomial p of degree "degree" to the (x,y) data:
degree = 1;
p = polyfit(x,y,degree);
% Evaluate the fitted polynomial p and plot:
f = polyval(p,x);
eqn = poly_equation(flip(p)); % polynomial equation (string)
Rsquared1 = my_Rsquared_coeff(y,f); % correlation coefficient
figure(1);plot(x,y,'o',x,f,'-')
legend('data',eqn)
title(['Data fit - R squared = ' num2str(Rsquared1)]);
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function Rsquared = my_Rsquared_coeff(data,data_fit)
% R2 correlation coefficient computation
% The total sum of squares
sum_of_squares = sum((data-mean(data)).^2);
% The sum of squares of residuals, also called the residual sum of squares:
sum_of_squares_of_residuals = sum((data-data_fit).^2);
% definition of the coefficient of correlation is
Rsquared = 1 - sum_of_squares_of_residuals/sum_of_squares;
end

function eqn = poly_equation(a_hat)
eqn = " y = "+a_hat(1);
for i = 2:(length(a_hat))

else
str = " ";
end
if i == 2
eqn = eqn+str+a_hat(i)+"*x";
