Re: FW: lspoly didn't wok when the number of data points equal to the number of coefficients

As noted in the documentation:

n

The number of coefficients desired (i.e., n-1 will be the degree of the
polynomial). Due to the method used, n should be less than or equal to
five.

===

In your case with 3 points, the max number of coefficients would be 2
