I have a cumulative distribution function(cdf). I have attached the figure. How can I fit the curve and get the function
expression for it?

Likely the easiest way to estimate the parameters is with the Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox fitdist function:
x = randn(1, 25)*2 + 5; % Create Data (Mean = 5, St Dev = 2)
b = fitdist(x(:), 'normal')
producing:
b =
NormalDistribution
Normal distribution
mu = 5.30768 [4.42359, 6.19177]
sigma = 2.1418 [1.67238, 2.97957]
Choose the appropriate distribution function for your data.

hello, I have try the below code:
x=sort(y,'descend');
[mu,sigma] = normfit(x);
d=cdf('norm',x,mu,sigma);
figure
plot(x,d)
hold on;
p = @(x,mu,sigma) (1 + erf((x-mu)/(sigma*sqrt(2))))/2;
plot(p)
However, it still said plot(p) can not achieved. May I ask what is the "erf" mean?

I provided you with a link to the erf function. It is the error function.
I provided you with the correct code for the plot. Use it!

hello,sorry for the late reply.
Can I ask where is he correct code for the plot? I haven't find in the answer.

It is in this Comment.
Specifically:
x = randn(1, 25)*2 + 5; % Create Data
x = sort(x);
[mu,sigma] = normfit(x);
d=cdf('norm',x,mu,sigma);
figure
plot(x,d)
I did not initially provide the ‘x’ vector, since you have your own. I created it to test my code, and include it here for completeness. (The sort function sorts ascending by default, so there is no need to specify it.)
An alternative using the erf function is:
x = randn(1, 25)*2 + 5; % Create Data
x = sort(x);
[mu,sigma] = normfit(x);
p = @(x,mu,sigma) (1 + erf((x-mu)/(sigma*sqrt(2))))/2; % Equivalent to ‘normcdf’
figure
plot(x,p(x,mu,sigma))
using the approach in Find Cumulative Distribution Function of Normal Distribution.
