function detrend(ts,type,varargin) 
%DETREND  Detrend time series data
%
%   DETREND(TS,TYPE,VARARGIN) removes a linear trend from data in a time 
%   series object, usually for FFT processing. TYPE is a string, either 
%   'constant' or 'linear', which describes the detrending method.
%
%   DETREND also removes all NaNs from the data.
