regress - regression coefficients of two variables

### Calling Sequence

  `coefs=regress(x,y)`

### Parameters

- `x,y` : real or complex vector

### Description

This function computes the regresion coefficients of two variables `x` and `y` , both numerical vectors of same number of elements `n` . `coefs=[a b]` be a 1x2 matrix such that `Y=a+bX` will be the equation of the ordinary least square approximation to our data.
