# Description of the program: polynom

This programs models the data making a polynomial ansatz.

## Usage:

polynom [Options]

Everything not being a valid option will be interpreted as a potential datafile name. Given no datafile at all, means read stdin. Also - means stdin

Possible options are:

Option | Description | Default
--- | --- | ---
-l# | number of data to use | whole file
-x# | number of lines to be ignored | 0
-c# | column to be read | 1
-m# | embedding dimension | 2
-d# | delay | 1
-p# | order of the polynomial | 2
-n# | number of points for the fit; The other points are used to estimate the out of sample error | number of data
-L# | determines the length of the predicted series | none
-o# | output file name; without -o default is used | 'datafile'.pol
-V# | verbosity level 0: only panic messages 1: add input/output messages | 1
-h | show these options | none

## Description of the Output:

The output file contains: The coefficients of the model, the forecast errors and if the -L flag was set the predicted points.
