I have got an experimental curve which is a bit wavy (curve has a lot of noise and hence is wavy).
I want to smoothn the curve using Matlab.
Can anyone advise the best tool in Matlab for this?
I wanted to attach the plot of curve which needs to be smoothened but couldn't find a way to attach it here.

Do you mean:
yy = smooth(y)
where; yy is the smoothed vector? And, y is the dependent variable (of the curve) that needs to be given?

I have a function called FitIt on the file exchange that might prove useful.
FitIt combines
Local regression (to smooth your data set) Cross validation (to estimate an optimal spanning parameter) Bootstrap (to generate confidence intervals)
FitIt has dependencies on both Curve Fitting Toolbox and Statistics Toolbox.

Hi everybody,
I had been trying to use your function, fitit, in my own problem but it didn't work well. In the case of your demo, it is quite ok but when I try to run it with my signal, there is an error:
??? Error using ==> horzcat
CAT arguments dimensions are not consistent.
Error in ==> fitit at 21
sse(j) = sum(crossval(f,[X,Y],'partition',cp));
can you please let me know where this can be driven?

How about smooth() :)
doc smooth

If you run:
doc smooth
at the command line it will tell you all about the SMOOTH function, (well as long as you have a somewhat recent version of MATLAB with the Curve Fitting Toolbox)
