% POLYNOMFIT is a polynomial fitting tool
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%  
% DESCRIPTION: POLYNOMFIT is a polynomial fitting tool based on MATLAB's
% lscov function. It solves an equation in the form
%
%     Y = P(1) * X^N(1) + P(2) * X^N(2) + ...
%
% for the fit parameters P. It handles arbitrary powers of the input vector
% and uncertainties on the dependent vector Y and input vectors X. 
% The output is a pest object where the fields are containing:
% Quantity                              % Field
% Fit coefficients                          y
% Uncertainties on the fit parameters
% (given as standard deviations)            dy
% The reduced CHI2 of the fit              chi2
% The covariance matrix                    cov
% The degrees of freedom of the fit        dof
%  
% CALL:       P = polynomfit(X, Y, PL)
%             P = polynomfit(A, PL)
%  
% INPUTS:     Y   - dependent variable
%             X   - input variables
%             A   - data ao whose x and y fields are used in the fit
%             PL  - parameter list
%  
% OUTPUT:     P   - a pest object with M = numel(N) fitting coefficients
%
%
% PARAMETERS:
%    'orders' - polynom orders. Eg [0,1,-2] fits to P0 + P1*x + P2./x.^2
%    'dy'     - uncertainty on the dependent variable
%    'dx'     - uncertainties on the input variable
%    'p0'     - initial guess on the fit parameters used ONLY to propagate
%               uncertainities in the input variable X to the dependent variable Y

% EXAMPLES:
%
% % 1) Fit with one object input
% 
% nsecs = 5;
% fs    = 10;
% n       = [0 1 -2];
% u1 = unit('mV');
% 
% pl1 = plist('nsecs', nsecs, 'fs', fs, ...
%   'tsfcn', sprintf('t.^%d + t.^%d + t.^%d + randn(size(t))', n), ...
%   'xunits', 's', 'yunits', u1);
% a1 = ao(pl1);
% out1 = polynomfit(a1, plist('orders', n, 'dx', 0.1, 'dy', 0.1, 'P0', zeros(size(n))));
%
% % 2) Fit with two objects input
% 
% fs      =  1;
% nsecs   = 10;
% n       = [0 1 -2];
% 
% X = ao(plist('tsfcn', 'randn(size(t))', 'fs', fs, 'nsecs', nsecs, 'yunits', 'm', 'name', 'base'));
% N = ao(plist('tsfcn', 'randn(size(t))', 'fs', fs, 'nsecs', nsecs, 'yunits', 'm', 'name', 'noise'));
% C = [ao(1, plist('yunits', 'm', 'name', 'C1')) ...
%      ao(4, plist('yunits', 'm/m', 'name', 'C2')) ...
%      ao(2, plist('yunits', 'm/m^(-2)', 'name', 'C3'))];
% Y = C(1) * X.^0 + C(2) * X.^1 + C(3) * X.^(-2) + N;
% Y.simplifyYunits;
% out2 = polynomfit(X, Y, plist('orders', n))
