During an experiment i registered several points. Thereafter I approximated them with 9th order polynomial. I need to find the absolute error of the measurements and the approximated function on y axis. Any idea?

*edit:

y = [0.006332 0.04056 0.11813 0.1776723 0.23840 0.29827 0.358396...

0.06189];
x2 = linspace (1,43,43);
x2 = x2';
y = y';
f = fit(x2,y,'poly9');
figure()
plot(f,x2,y)

This will do it:

y_fit = f(x2);
error = y - y_fit;

hold on
plot(x2, error)

% Several popular error norms:
norm(error, 1)
norm(error, 2)
norm(error, Inf)

Like y, the variable error is a vector. If you want to reduce this vector to a single number, you can use one the norms. See this for more on error norms.
