To find exponent in power law equation of the form y = ax^m + b

I have X and Y points for a curve to be of the form Y = ax^m + b.
I want to find the exponent m, lets just say that m could be inbetween 1.2 - 2.5.
How can I find exact value for m?

fminspleas downloadable from
is especially appropriate for power law fits.
a = 0.55;
m = 1.3;
b = -0.78;
% dummy data
x = (1:25)';
y = a*x.^m + b + randn(size(x));
m=fminspleas( {@(m,x)x.^m , 1}, 2,x,y, 1.2,2.5 )

Probably similar, but with 3 unknowns fminsearch is not guaranteed to converge, so no rigorous predictions are possible.

hello
try this
may need some refinement for the initial guess for the parameters depending of your data
a = 0.55;
m = 1.3;
b = -0.78;
% dummy data
x = (1:25);
y = a*x.^m + b + randn(size(x));
% equation model y = a*x^m + b
f = @(a,m,b,x) (a*x.^m + b);
obj_fun = @(params) norm(f(params(1), params(2), params(3),x)-y);
% IC guessed
sol = fminsearch(obj_fun, rand(3,1));
a_sol = sol(1)
m_sol = sol(2)
b_sol = sol(3)
y_fit = f(a_sol, m_sol, b_sol, x);
Rsquared = my_Rsquared_coeff(y,y_fit); % correlation coefficient
figure(1)
plot(x,y,'rd',x,y_fit,'b-');

ylabel('Intensity (arb. unit)', 'FontSize', 14)
xlabel('x(nm)', 'FontSize', 14)
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
function Rsquared = my_Rsquared_coeff(data,data_fit)
% R² correlation coefficient computation
% The total sum of squares
sum_of_squares = sum((data-mean(data)).^2);
% The sum of squares of residuals, also called the residual sum of squares:
sum_of_squares_of_residuals = sum((data-data_fit).^2);
% definition of the coefficient of correlation is
Rsquared = 1 - sum_of_squares_of_residuals/sum_of_squares;
end

If you have the Curve Fitting Toolbox,
a = 0.55;
m = 1.3;
b = -0.78;
% dummy data
x = (1:25)';
y = a*x.^m + b + randn(size(x));
fobj=fit(x,y,'power2','Lower',[-inf,1.2,-inf],'Upper',[+inf,2.5,+inf])
plot(fobj,x,y)
