polyfit, linear regression, non-linear regression, log-linear regression... There are different ways depending upon the form of the equation. It would probably help if you posted the equation and indicated which symbols needed to be fit.

Equation is below
Eg=E-at.^2/(b+t)
and the parameters that need to be known are 'a' and 'b'.
Since I'm a new user of Matlab so a detailed answer will be appreciated:)

You've gotta love the Curve-Fitting Toolbox for this!
