ezfit using a function

I use ezfit to fit a gaussian in my data. It is straight forward as it is in the ezfit examples:
f1 = ezfit(x,counts,'gauss');
showfit(f1)
I want to fit my own function. So before doing that, I attempted using the equation of gaussian, exaclty the same equation in the ezfit documentation to fit the data ( http://www.fast.u-psud.fr/ezyfit/html/ezfit.html ). I am doing this to check if I am doing any mistakes. I did as follows
f1 = ezfit(x,counts,'a*exp(-(x-x0)^2/(2*s^2))');
showfit(f1)
This time it doesn't fit! Could you please tell me what is wrong in it?

Hi,
Notice in the ezfit documentation the way functions are specified are with syntax of "y=" as in a usual function. Thus it should look like:
f1 = ezfit(x,counts,'y = a*exp(-(x-x0)^2/(2*s^2))');
Further for your own function you can specify specific guesses for parameters (such as a and s here). The first guesses for the function (ex. a=1 and s=2) to try would be after semicolon in the same string and look like:
f1 = ezfit(x,counts,'y = a*exp(-(x-x0)^2/(2*s^2)); a=1; s=2');
Have fun :)
