I have 2 sets of data file
#veff S Pmax S Pmin
0.10 103 0.2135 152 -0.0505
0.11 104 0.2162 152 -0.0592
0.12 105 0.2177 152 -0.0669
and
#veff S Pmax S Pmin
0.13 106 0.2177 152 -0.0729
0.14 105 0.2162 152 -0.0778

while I try to fit the fit goes beyond the points with the code
set terminal wxt
#set term postscript eps color enhanced
#set output "1.eps"
set xlabel "Pmax"
set ylabel "Pmin"
[![enter image description here][1]][1]
set title "Pmax vs Pmin"
unset key
FIT_LIMIT = 1e-6
f1(x)=a1*x*x+b1*x+c1
f2(x)=a2*x*x+b2*x+c2
fit [x=0.185:0.218] f1(x) "PmaxPminVEFF.txt" u 3:5 via a1,b1,c1
fit [x=0.212:0.218] f2(x) "PmaxPminVEFF1.txt" u 3:5 via a2,b2,c2
plot 'PmaxPminVEFF.txt' using 3:5 with p pt 7,f1(x) lc rgb "red",\
'PmaxPminVEFF1.txt' using 3:5 with p pt 8, f2(x) lc rgb "green"
the fitting line goes beyond the points. Help me out here to fix the fittings up to the point only. Fit command is also not working.
