Hi,
So i have a set of energy values x and corresponding spectral information y.
I fit a straight line to my data with the polyfit function (which uses least square fitting)
I end up with coefficients p and the struct S containing the error estimates.
I want to find the x intercept with the associated uncertainity. How do I do this?
My attempt :
If I can find the errors on the coefficients p, then I can easily find the uncertainity in the x intercept through propagation of errors. But somehow I cant find the bounds of p in S?
PS : I know finding the intercept is just -p(2)/p(1), its the uncertainity I need help with.
