t squares fitting and for the evaluation of a large number of Laguerre series of the same degree and sample points. Parameters ---------- x : array_like Array of points. The dtype is converted to float64 or complex128 depending on whether any of the elements are complex. If `x` is scalar it is converted to a 1-D array. deg : int Degree of the resulting matrix. Returns ------- vander : ndarray The pseudo-Vandermonde matrix. The shape of the returned matrix is ``x.shape + (deg + 1,)``, where The last index is the degree of the corresponding Laguerre polynomial. The dtype will be the same as the converted `x`. Examples -------- >>> from numpy.polynomial.laguerre import lagvander >>> x = np.array([0, 1, 2]) >>> lagvander(x, 3) array([[ 1. , 1. , 1. , 1. ], [ 1. , 0. , -0.5 , -0.66666667], [ 1. , -1. , -1. , -0.33333333]]) Ú
