Least-squares fit of a polynomial to data. Return the coefficients of a polynomial of degree `deg` that is the least squares fit to the data values `y` given at points `x`. If `y` is 1-D the returned coefficients will also be 1-D. If `y` is 2-D multiple fits are done, one for e

1215 """
1216 Least-squares fit of a polynomial to data.
1217
1218 Return the coefficients of a polynomial of degree `deg` that is the
1219 least squares fit to the data values `y` given at points `x`. If `y` is
1220 1-D the returned coefficients will also be 1-D. If `y` is 2-D multiple
1221 fits are done, one for each column of `y`, and the resulting
1222 coefficients are stored in the corresponding columns of a 2-D return.
1223 The fitted polynomial(s) are in the form
1224
1225 .. math:: p(x) = c_0 + c_1 * x + ... + c_n * x^n,
1226
1227 where `n` is `deg`.
1228
1229 Parameters
1230 ----------
1231 x : array_like, shape (`M`,)
1232 x-coordinates of the `M` sample (data) points ``(x[i], y[i])``.
1233 y : array_like, shape (`M`,) or (`M`, `K`)
1234 y-coordinates of the sample points. Several sets of sample points
1235 sharing the same x-coordinates can be (independently) fit with one
1236 call to `polyfit` by passing in for `y` a 2-D array that contains
1237 one data set per column.
1238 deg : int or 1-D array_like
1239 Degree(s) of the fitting polynomials. If `deg` is a single integer
1240 all terms up to and including the `deg`'th term are included in the
1241 fit. For NumPy versions >= 1.11.0 a list of integers specifying the
1242 degrees of the terms to include may be used instead.
1243 rcond : float, optional
1244 Relative condition number of the fit. Singular values smaller
1245 than `rcond`, relative to the largest singular value, will be
1246 ignored. The default value is ``len(x)*eps``, where `eps` is the
1247 relative precision of the platform's float type, about 2e-16 in
1248 most cases.
1249 full : bool, optional
1250 Switch determining the nature of the return value. When ``False``
1251 (the default) just the coefficients are returned; when ``True``,
1252 diagnostic information from the singular value decomposition (used
1253 to solve the fit's matrix equation) is also returned.
1254 w : array_like, shape (`M`,), optional
1255 Weights. If not None, the weight ``w[i]`` applies to the unsquared
1256 residual ``y[i] - y_hat[i]`` at ``x[i]``. Ideally the weights are
1257 chosen so that the errors of the products ``w[i]*y[i]`` all have the
1258 same variance. When using inverse-variance weighting, use
1259 ``w[i] = 1/sigma(y[i])``. The default value is None.
1260
1261 .. versionadded:: 1.5.0
1262
1263 Returns
1264 -------
1265 coef : ndarray, shape (`deg` + 1,) or (`deg` + 1, `K`)
1266 Polynomial coefficients ordered from low to high. If `y` was 2-D,
1267 the coefficients in column `k` of `coef` represent the polynomial
1268 fit to the data in `y`'s `k`-th column.
1269
1270 [residuals, rank, singular_values, rcond] : list
1271 These values are only returned if ``full == True``
