function [y, delta] = polyval(p,x,S,mu)
%POLYVAL Evaluate polynomial.
%   Y = POLYVAL(P,X) returns the value of a polynomial P evaluated at X. P
%   is a vector of length N+1 whose elements are the coefficients of the
%   polynomial in descending powers.
%
%       Y = P(1)*X^N + P(2)*X^(N-1) + ... + P(N)*X + P(N+1)
%
%   If X is a matrix or vector, the polynomial is evaluated at all
%   points in X.  See also POLYVALM for evaluation in a matrix sense.
%
%   [Y,DELTA] = POLYVAL(P,X,S) uses the optional output structure S created
%   by POLYFIT to generate prediction error estimates DELTA.  DELTA is an
%   estimate of the standard deviation of the error in predicting a future
%   observation at X by P(X).
%
%   If the coefficients in P are least squares estimates computed by
%   POLYFIT, and the errors in the data input to POLYFIT are independent,
%   normal, with constant variance, then Y +/- DELTA will contain at least
%   50% of future observations at X.
%
%   Y = POLYVAL(P,X,[],MU) or [Y,DELTA] = POLYVAL(P,X,S,MU) uses XHAT =
%   (X-MU(1))/MU(2) in place of X. The centering and scaling parameters MU
%   are optional output computed by POLYFIT.
%
%   Class support for inputs P,X,S,MU:
%      float: double, single
%
%   See also POLYFIT, POLYVALM.

%   DELTA can be used to compute a 100(1-alpha)% prediction interval
%   for future observations at X, as Y +/- DELTA*t(alpha/2,df), where
%   t(alpha/2,df) is the upper (alpha/2) quantile of the Student's t
%   distribution with df degrees of freedom.  Since t(.25,df) < 1 for any
%   degrees of freedom, Y +/- DELTA is at least a 50% prediction interval
%   in all cases.  For large degrees of freedom, the confidence level
%   approaches approximately 68%.
