Hi everyone,
I have a set of data and I want to plot a curve fitting along these scatter points. I try to use the curve fitting app provided in the MATLAB software but it's not really fitted. What are the codes that I should use to do a curve fitting for this scenerio? The curve doesn't need to fit every single point, an approximation would be fine for these fittings.
The desired curve should be something like on the attached photo.

For approximation use polyfit. For interpolation use interp1. Also when doing approximation it may be helpful to change x and y. For example use not a
polyfit(x,y,7),
but
polyfit(y,x,7).
