% PSDCONF Calculates confidence levels and variance for psd
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%
% DESCRIPTION: PSDCONF Input a spectrum estimated with psd or lpsd (Welch's
% Overlapped Segment Averaging Method) and calculates confidence levels and
% variance for the spectrum.
%
% CALL:         [lcl,ucl] = psdconf(a,pl)
%               [lcl,ucl,var] = psdconf(a,pl)
%
% INPUTS:
%               a  -  input analysis objects containing power spectral
%                     densities calculated with psd or lpsd.
%               pl  - input parameter list
%
% OUTPUTS:                
%               lcl - lower confidence level
%               ucl - upper confidence level
%               var - expected spectrum variance
%
%
%              If the last input argument is a parameter list (plist).
%              The following parameters are recognised.
%
% 
% NOTE1: PSDCONF checks the navs field to distinguish between psd and lpsd
% power spectra. If a.data.navs is NaN then it assumes to dealing with lpsd
% power spectrum at input.
%
% NOTE2: Copied directly from MATLAB chi2conf function (Signal Processing
% Toolbox) and extended to do degrees of fredom calculation, variance
% calculation, to input AOs and to input plist.
