Hi everyone, I have a function defined as following:
I'd would like to know if there is a Matlab function that can estimate these two parameters given a set of values of (x,y).
With kind regards,
Winn

given a set of values of (x,y).
Are you not also given E(x,y)? You would need that, too.

There is lsqcurvefit in the Optimization Toolbox and nlinfit in the Statistics Toolbox. If you have neither, there is fminspleas ( Download ). The latter could be useful, because your model is loglinear in beta
log(E)-log(1-y) = beta*f(x,alpha)
which fminspleas can advantage of. In particular, fitting log(E)-log(1-y) with fminspleas only requires a good initial guess for alpha. The solution fminspleas gives you for both alpha and beta can then be used as initial guesses in a more refined fit.
