As i know , you can calc the equ ation if it suit for a linear model or log model.
In MatLab, you can use command nlinfit or nlintool to fit a nonlinear curve

I suppose you want to do a non-linear fit. If so, I might be able to help you to use R to do a non-linear fit. I will post a demo tonight. But if you can give more details, I might be able to tailor a demo more relative to your problem.
