fit()

Curve Fitting

fit() is a MATLAB®-compatible curve fitting function for fit a model to data. fittype is a fittype object or a library name such as 'poly2', 'exp1', 'gauss1', 'fourier1', 'power1'. returns a fit object you can evaluate with fnval/feval and optional goodness-of-fit stats. Run it online in your browser with SimLab — free, no install, no license required.

Syntax

cfit = fit(x, y, fitType)
[cfit, gof] = fit(x, y, fitType, options)

Examples — run fit() in your browser

fit([0 1 2 3], [0 1 4 9], 'poly2')
▶ Run
fit([0 1 2 3], [1 2.7 7.4 20], fittype('a*exp(b*x)'))
▶ Run

What does fit() do?

Fit a model to data. fitType is a fittype object or a library name such as 'poly2', 'exp1', 'gauss1', 'fourier1', 'power1'. Returns a fit object you can evaluate with fnval/feval and optional goodness-of-fit stats. It is a MATLAB®-compatible curve fitting function available in SimLab with the same calling syntax as MATLAB® — typically: cfit = fit(x, y, fitType).

Can I run fit() in my browser?

Yes. Open SimLab at simulations4all.com/simlab, write or paste code that calls fit(), and run it. Execution happens locally in your browser — no data leaves your machine.
