fitConic:Fit Data to Any Conic Section
Fit data to an ellipse, hyperbola, or parabola. Bootstrapping is available when needed. The conic curve can be
rotated through an arbitrary angle and the fit will still
succeed. Helper functions are provided to convert generator
coefficients from one style to another, generate test data
sets, rotate conic section parameters, and so on. References
