## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{p}, @var{s}] =} wpolyfit (@var{x}, @var{y}, @var{dy}, @var{n})
## Return the coefficients of a polynomial @var{p}(@var{x}) of degree
## @var{n} that minimizes
## @c ########################################################
## @c These lines must be written without space at start to work around
## @c a bug in html generation.
##@iftex

##\sum_{i=1}^N (p(x_i) - y_i)^2

##@code{sumsq (p(x(i)) - y(i))},
##@end ifnottex
## @c ########################################################
## to best fit the data in the least squares sense.  The standard error
## on the observations @var{y} if present are given in @var{dy}.
##
## The returned value @var{p} contains the polynomial coefficients 
## suitable for use in the function polyval.  The structure @var{s} returns
## information necessary to compute uncertainty in the model.
##
## To compute the predicted values of y with uncertainty use
## @example
## [y,dy] = polyconf(p,x,s,'ci');
## @end example
## You can see the effects of different confidence intervals and
## prediction intervals by calling the wpolyfit internal plot
## function with your fit:
## @example
## feval('wpolyfit:plt',x,y,dy,p,s,0.05,'pi')
## @end example
## Use @var{dy}=[] if uncertainty is unknown.
##
## You can use a chi^2 test to reject the polynomial fit:
## @example
## p = 1-chi2cdf(s.normr^2,s.df);
## @end example
## p is the probability of seeing a chi^2 value higher than that which 
## was observed assuming the data are normally distributed around the fit.
## If p < 0.01, you can reject the fit at the 1% level.
##
## You can use an F test to determine if a higher order polynomial 
## improves the fit:
## @example
## [poly1,S1] = wpolyfit(x,y,dy,n);
## [poly2,S2] = wpolyfit(x,y,dy,n+1);
## F = (S1.normr^2 - S2.normr^2)/(S1.df-S2.df)/(S2.normr^2/S2.df);
## p = 1-f_cdf(F,S1.df-S2.df,S2.df);
## @end example
## p is the probability of observing the improvement in chi^2 obtained
## by adding the extra parameter to the fit.  If p < 0.01, you can reject 
## the lower order polynomial at the 1% level.
##
## You can estimate the uncertainty in the polynomial coefficients 
## themselves using
## @example
## dp = sqrt(sumsq(inv(s.R'))'/s.df)*s.normr;
## @end example
## but the high degree of covariance amongst them makes this a questionable
## operation.
## @end deftypefn
##
## @deftypefn {Function File} {[@var{p}, @var{s}, @var{mu}] =} wpolyfit (...)
##
## If an additional output @code{mu = [mean(x),std(x)]} is requested then 
## the @var{x} values are centered and normalized prior to computing the fit.
## This will give more stable numerical results.  To compute a predicted 
## @var{y} from the returned model use
## @code{y = polyval(p, (x-mu(1))/mu(2)}
## @end deftypefn
##
## @deftypefn {Function File} {} wpolyfit (...)
##
## If no output arguments are requested, then wpolyfit plots the data,
## the fitted line and polynomials defining the standard error range.
##
## Example
## @example
## x = linspace(0,4,20);
## dy = (1+rand(size(x)))/2;
## y = polyval([2,3,1],x) + dy.*randn(size(x));
## wpolyfit(x,y,dy,2);
## @end example
## @end deftypefn
##
## @deftypefn {Function File} {} wpolyfit (..., 'origin')
##
## If 'origin' is specified, then the fitted polynomial will go through
## the origin.  This is generally ill-advised.  Use with caution.
