function [y, se] = predict(varargin)

% Interpolate a fit produced by locfit().
%
% predict(fit)    produces the fitted values at locfit's selected points.
% predict(fit,x)  interpolates the fits to points specified by x.
%
% Input arguments:
%   fit   The locfit() fit.
%   x     Points to interpolate at. May be a matrix with d columns,
%         or cell with d components (each a vector). In the former
%         case, a fitted value is computed for each row of x.
%         In the latter, the components of x are interpreted as
%         grid margins.
%         Can also specify 'data' (evaluate at data points);
%         or 'fitp' (extract the fitted points).
%  'band',value
%         Type of standard errors to compute. Default is 'band','n', for none.
%         Other choices are 'band','g' (use a global s to estimate the resiudal
%         standard deviation, so standard errors are s*||l(x)||);
%         'band','l' (use a local s(x), so std. errors are s(x)*||l(x)||);
%         'band','p' (prediction errors, so s*sqrt(1+||l(x)||^2).
%  'direct'
%         Compute the local fit directly (rather than using local
%         regression, at each point specified by the x argument.
%  'kappa',vector
%         Vector of constants for simultaneous confidence bands,
%         computed by the kappa0() function.
%  'level',value
%         Coverage probability for confidence intervals and bands.
%         Default is 0.95.
%
%  Output is a vector of fitted values (if 'band','n'), or a cell
%  with fitted value, standard error vectors, and matrix of lower
%  and upper confidence limits.
%
%  Note that for local likelihood fits, back-transformation is
%  not performed, so that (e.g.) for Poisson regression with the
%  log-link, the output estimates the log-mean, and its standard errors.
%  Likewise, for density estimation, the output is log(density).
