function out=fnn(varargin)
%FNN   Dimension estimation by false nearest neighbours.
%    Y=FNN(X) computes the vector Y of the amount of false
%    nearest neighbours (FNN) as a function of the embedding dimension.
%
%    Y=FNN(X,M), where M is a scalar, computes the FNN up to dimension M.
%    The defeault is M=10.
%
%    Y=FNN(X,M,T), where T is a scalar, computes the FNN using delay T.
%    The defeault is T=1.
%
%    Y=FNN(X,M,T,R,S), where R and S are scalars, applies the neighbourhood
%    criterion R and the size of the neighbourhood S. The defeault is R=10
%    and S=Inf.
%
%    Y=FNN(X,M,T,R,S,N), where N is a scalar, uses N random samples for
%    the determination of the FNNs. This speeds up the estimation, 
%    especially for long data series. The defeault is N=length(X) if
%    the data length is smaller than 500, else N=200.
%
%    FNN(...) without any output arguments opens a GUI for interactively 
%    changing the parameters. 
%
%    By using the GUI, the FNNs can be stored into the 
%    workspace. 
%
%    FNN(...,param) additional parameters according to the GUI are
%    available:
%      gui         - Creates the GUI.
%      nogui       - Suppresses the GUI.
%      silent      - Suppresses all output.
%
%    FNN without any arguments calls a demo (the same as the example 
%    below).
%
%    Examples: x = sin(0:.2:8*pi)' + .1*randn(126,1);
%              fnn(x,10,[],5)
