polyfitter.fit - Function

Fit a polynomial of a specified order to data

Synopsis
fit(coeff, coefferrs, chisq, x, y, sigma, order)

Arguments

coeff	The coefficients of the fit. The constant (0th-order) term is first, highest order term last. (Output)
coefferrs	Estimated errors of the fit. (Output)
chisq	$\chi^{2}_{}$ for the fit. (Output)
x	(Input)
y	Must be the same length as ``x''. (Input)
sigma	Errors in the ``y'' values. (Input)
	Default:	1.0
order	Order of the highest term in the polynomial to fit. (Input)
	Allowed:	0 $\le$ order $\le$ 10
	Default:	1

Returns
Bool -- did the fit succeed
