atan, atanh (MATLAB Function Reference)
Description The atan and atanh functions operate element-wise on arrays. The functions' domains and ranges include complex values. All angles are in radians. Y = atan(X) returns the inverse tangent (arctangent) for each element of X. For real elements of X, atan(X) is in the range .

Strange behavior with symbolic and atan - MATLAB Answers - MATLAB Central
May 29, 2018 - Hello, I am solving a time derivative equation in Matlab. atan is part of the solution. It seems to behave strangely when atan(tan) is around. Although, I am not sure. I have attached the script...

The atan function simply computes the inverse tangens of a value. The atan2 function takes two values (y and x). This function is used to convert from cartesian coordinates (x,y) to polar coordinates (r,phi), where phi=atan(y,x).

As I understand, this fitting is to get the resonance frequency and quality factor out of a phase sweep. I figured out that the formula of y = atan(x*a/b/(a^2-x^2)) is not suitable for fitting in MATLAB due to the different period settings for the formula and the atan function in MATLAB.
