MATLAB Troubleshooting nlinfit: Using Sinc^2 Function in MATLAB

[Mindscrape]

I'm trying to use the nlinfit that MATLAB has to fit a sinc^2 function, but it keeps telling me that my coefficients have the wrong inputs. Here's basically what I am doing.

%driver.m
y = [intensity points]; %I actually have a bunch of intensity points, but I don't want to list them
x = [data points]; %data points relating to intensity
plot(x,y,'o')
hold on
[beta,r,J,sigma] = nlinfit(x,y,@sincsq, beta);
beta
r
J
sigma
plot(x,sincsq(beta,x),'-k')

and I have the function sincsq defined as
%sinc^2 model for passing to the nlinear fit

function yhat = sincsq(beta,x)

yhat = beta(1).*sinc(beta(2).*x(1,.^2;

The exact error message when I run the first file is:
Error using ==> beta at 21
Not enough input arguments

Your problem is that 'beta' is a MATLAB function. It's mad that you are trying to use it as a variable. I used to have this problem a lot so now I always use 'bayta' for variables I want to name beta.

Okay, so I fixed that problem, but now I have another. The nlinfit is being really weird though, and changing the starting coefficients, which should be pretty close to ones it determines in the end, to stuff that isn't anywhere close.

Here is my exact code:

Here is the sincsq function:
%sinc^2 model for passing to the nlinear fit

function [yhat] = sincsq(v,x)

A=v(1);
x0=v(2);
shift = v(3);

yhat = A.*sinc(x0.*(x-shift)).^2;
