Fitting function

[mrodrig]

Hello,
I am new with octave.

I have a data set (x,y) and I have a theoretical function that depend on the
x value. In other words, for example, for x < b, f=10*x*a and for x>=b,
f=-10*x*a. I need to perform the fitting of the theoretical function to the
experimental data and obtain the value of R parameter. 

Here is my code example

x=[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10];
y=[0,2,6,10,12,10,7,5,1,0];
R=2;
N=1;
plot(x,y)
hold
  for r=min(x):1:max(x)
  if x(N) < 5
    y(N)=10*x(N)*R;
  elseif x(N) >= 5
   y(N)=-10*x(N)*R;
   endif
  N=N+1;
  endfor

I used R=2 as a starting parameter

How can I do?

It is possible to use leasqr?

thanks very much
