Now, the problem with that patch is that, if you do not want to, or cannot take the trouble of compiling gnuplot for yourself, it is no use. The plots for a real zero are like those for the real pole but mirrored about 0db or 0.

Recently, a patch has been added to gnuplot, with the help of which one make plots with some statistical properties quite easily. There can be up to 12 independent variables, there is always 1 dependent variable, and any number of parameters can be fitted.
Sigmaplot product uses parameter confidence intervals in. It has a fairly robust tool called fit which can be used to perform nonlinear leastsquares regressions very conveniently. The final solution also produces a correlation matrix, which gives an indication of the correlation of parameters in the region of the solution. Wrong fit with error bars in gnuplot stack overflow.
