Hi there, I would like to fit the data read in by 'stem' to myfun which is a modelled function in a different script which changes the variable named dp? Thanks

"... myfun which is a modelled function in a different script "

Have to save myfun as an m-file; functions in scripts are local within the script and thus aren't visible outside the script.

If the function you are referring (myfun) is defined in a script, then it is going to be a local function and cannot be accessed outside the script. In that case, as dpb pointed out you may have to save myfun as an m-file and add it to the MATLAB path.

Also, make sure you are passing the argument as function handle in nlintfit function. Please find the documentation for the nlintfit function.

If you would like to know more about the function handle, you can find here.

Thanks, Im now able to read in the function from another script now. Now I just have a problem with the nlinfit saying that theres not enough input variables?

I believe this MATLAB answer might help you resolve the above issue.
