Plane Fitting and Normal Calculation
Given a set of x,y,z coordinates, find the best planar fit to the points via a least squares regression. Testing script "t_fitNormal" is also included to verify functionality and demonstrate usage.
Sample Call
> data = rand(50,3)*100;
> data(:,3) = data(:,1) * .4 + data(:,2) * .6 + rand(50,1);
> n = fitNormal(data,1)
