There is such a function that was contributed by a user to the Matlab ftp
site. It's in ftp://ftp.mathworks.com/pub/contrib/v4/optim and it's
called curvefit.m. This fit's straight lines and plots them with the
data. There is also curvefitnl.m which proports to do the same for a
user-specified non-linear function but I haven't tried it.
If you want to abstract from any particular functional form then I wrote a
function which does kernel smoothing which I could give you. It fit's the
best curve to 2-dimensional data without any need to specify the
functional form. If you are interested let me know.
