plot(x, y);
The actual visualization of the data is as on the left of the image below. However, I want to smooth the data like the one on the right.
Any suggestions/thoughts?
Thank you.

Since the data on variable x has duplicated data and the step size is not equal. The duplicated data on the second position is firstly added by 0.001. Then interpolate the data with a equal step size and finally apply function smoothdata to get the result.
x = [0,0,1,1.98999999999978,2.99000000000069,3.98000000000047,14.0500000000002,15.0599999999995,15.8700000000008,15.8700000000008,16.9399999999996,17.8900000000003,18.8800000000001,29.7900000000000,30.8299999999999,31.8700000000008,32.8699999999999,32.8699999999999,33.8299999999999,34.8599999999997,35.8199999999997,46.0400000000000,46.7600000000002,47.8100000000004,48.8000000000002,48.8000000000002,49.7600000000002,50.7500000000009,62.0400000000000,62.7900000000009,63.7900000000000,64.8000000000002,65.8000000000002,65.8000000000002,66.7800000000007,67.7900000000000,78.0900000000002,78.8999999999996,79.9000000000006,80.9000000000006,81.8999999999996,81.8999999999996,82.8899999999994,83.8900000000003,94.0900000000002,94.5500000000002,95.6400000000003,96.5500000000002,96.5500000000002,97.5500000000002,98.5700000000006,109.560000000000,110.510000000000,111.500000000000,111.500000000000,112.500000000001,113.500000000000,113.500000000000,114.520000000000,126.090000000000,126.090000000000,127.050000000000,127.050000000000,128.050000000000,128.050000000000,129.050000000000,130.040000000000,141.540000000000,142.570000000000,142.570000000000,143.530000000000,144.120000000000,144.120000000000,145.310000000000,157.330000000000,158.320000000001,159.320000000000,160.070000000000,160.610000000000,160.610000000000,161.660000000000];
