<refname>polyval</refname>
- <refpurpose></refpurpose>
+ <refpurpose>returns the value of a polynomial of degree n evaluated at x. y = polyval(p,x,[],mu) or [y,delta] = polyval(p,x,S,mu) use x^=(x−μ1)/μ2 in place of x.
+In this equation, μ1=mean(x)and μ2=std(x). The centering and scaling parameters mu = [μ1,μ2] is optional </refpurpose>
