Fitting a equation to a spiral curve

893 Views Asked by At

I am completely new to this forum and also to this type of mathematical modeling. I am interested to fit the following equation to the points obtained from experimental data. I am looking for an algorithm or in the best case a matlab program that does it.

Equation: r(θ)=A/[log(B tan(θ/2N))] to the following curve (image) spiral curve with a straight line at the beginning

The equation is obtained from this article. http://arxiv.org/abs/0908.0892

Thank you very much in advance
