Strange results using Curve Fitting tool

Hello,
I'm trying to fit a function of the type "a1*cos(b1*x+c1) + a2*cos(b2*x+c2)" to my data using the curve fitting tool -> custom equation. However, the fitting results are terrible (since I know the data, I know the results should be reasonably good).
Thus, I tested the function "a1*sin(b1*x+c1) + a2*sin(b2*x+c2)" and the results remain terrible! The weirdest thing, though, is that when I use the "sum of sine" option (which is the exact same thing) the results are great, as expected.
Any ideas?

If the "sum of sine" option worked, why do you still require a custom solution?

Not many, since without your data and code, we cannot reproduce what you are seeing. One possible culprit though is the initial guess of the parameters. If you're going to use a custom model, you need to supply your own strategy for selecting an initial guess, since Matlab has no educated way of choosing one automatically for a custom equation. Since you did not mention any such strategy, I can only assume you just let the curve fitter pick an arbitrary initial guess, and that can certainly lead to poor results.
Also, I would recommend that you parametrize the equation terms asymmetrically, so that the solver can distinguish between the them, e.g., "a1*cos(b1*x+c1) + (a1+a2)*cos(b2*x+c2)"

Thiw worked,
>> ffit=fit(x,y,ft,'StartPoint',[1 1 0.74 0.064 -2.797 3.059] );
>> plot(ffit,x,y);scf
