Having trouble with a data set in MATLAB Programming

Hello,

I am trying to run an linear regression in MATLAB but I don't know how to program MATLAB that well. My data set is the following:

0  11.4
1  11.9
2  7.1
3  14.2
4  5.9
5  6.1
6  5.4
7  3.1
8  5.7
9  4.4
10  4.0
11  2.8
12  2.6
13  2.4
14  5.2
15  2.0

How do I get MATLAB to run a linear regression? Also, how do I import a text file (.txt) in MATLAB that contains the above data?

Answer 1

doc textread
doc polyfit

textscan() rather than textread(); textread() is being deleted.

importdata() might also read the file.
