% TIMEAVERAGE Averages time series intervals
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% DESCRIPTION: Averages time series intervals and return a reduced time
% series where each point represents the average of a stretch of data.
% Despite the name this method can perform some different operations on the
% data stretches or apply a user supplied function. Different functions can
% be applied to X and Y data.
%
% CALL:        BS = timeaverage(A1, A2, A3, ..., PL)
%
% INPUTS:      AN   - time series AOs
%              PL   - parameters list
%
% OUTPUTS:     BS   - array of AOs
% 
% <a href="matlab:utils.helper.displayMethodInfo('ao', 'timeaverage')">Parameters Description</a>
%
% EXAMPLES:
% 
% >> times = [ 0 100 200 300 400 500 ]
% >> timeaverage(a, plist('times', times))
% >> timeaverage(a, plist('start', 0, 'duration', 100, 'decay', 10, 'repetitions', 3))
% >> timeaverage(a, plist('times', times, 'function', 'center'))
% >> timeaverage(a, plist('times', times, 'function', @mean))
% >> timeaverage(a, plist('times', times, 'xfunction', @min, 'yfunction', @mean))
%
% NOTES: The intervals are defined as ti <= x < te where ti is the start
% time and te is the end time of each interval. If not specified the TIMES
% vector is constructed from other parameters using the following schema
% repeated accordingly a number of times specified with the REPETITIONS
% parameter.
