I'd like to find the curve of the form

y = a + (b - a)/(1 + (x/c)^ d))

to fit experimental data. I can do this in excel using solver by getting it to minimise the residuals between the curve and experimental data. Is this possible in Matlab without the optimistaion toolbox?

Any suggestions appreciated

Hi Duncan,

You can perform basic curve fitting using the optimization routines available in MATLAB.

Search for "Optimal Fit of a Non-linear Function" in the documentation to find a published version of a demo. This demo shows how one may use FMINSEARCH to achive this objective. You may also open the demo in MATLAB editor by executing:

>> edit fitdemo

Hope this helps.

Abhi...

Hi, I have a similar problem. To simplify assume a linear equation y=mx+c. I have values for the independent variable x, the actual y and want to solve for coefficients m and c. Using Excel Solver I would use random initial values for m and c in my equation, and get a fitted y, say y_fit. Then work the sum of squared residuals between y and y_fit [RSS = sum((y-yfit)^2)]. Then tell Solver to give me a solution for m and c which minimises RSS. Is this possible in Matlab? Can I make use of the Optimisation tool box to do this?

Thanks
