function [xx,yy,bins] = bindata(x,y,varargin)
%BINDATA Exponential data binning.
%
%   [XX,YY] = BINDATA(X,Y) logarithmically bins data. We assume both X and
%   Y are column vectors of the same length. By default, the k-th bin is
%   [2^k, 2^k-1]. The return values are defined as follows: XX(k) = 2^k is
%   the "bin label" and YY(k) = sum_i { Y(i) s.t. 2^k <= X(i) < 2^(k-1) }
%   is the "bin value".
%
%   [XX,YY] = BINDATA([],Y) sets X = (1:length(Y))'.
%
%   [XX,YY,BB] = BINDATA(...) returns the data bins, i.e., the k-th bin is
%   defined by [BB(k), BB(k+1)-1]. This can be useful if the meaning of XX
%   is modified by the parameters defined below.
%
%   [XX,YY,BB] = BINDATA(X,Y,'param',value,...) also accepts
%   parameter-value pairs, as described below.
%
%      --- Bin Definitions ---
%      The start of the k-th bin is given by
%        BB(k) = k + idx0 - 1 if k <= tau, else
%        BB(k) = ceil((omega.^(k-tau)-1)/(omega-1)) + tau + idx0 - 1.
%
%      o 'omega' - Bin increase multiplier. Default: 2.
%      o 'tau' - Number of singleton bins. Default: 1.
%      o 'idx0' - Starting index to be binned. Default: 1.
%
%      --- Binning Behavior ---
%      o 'bin' - Do binning? If false, returns X and Y unchanged unless X
%        was empty on input, in which case it's been reset to
%        (1:length(Y)). Default: true.
%      o 'ybinfun' - Function for the "bin value", used to combine all the
%        y-values in the same bin. Default: @sum.
%      o 'xbinfun' - Function for the "bin index". By default, XX(k)=BB(k).
%        If a function is specified, however, then this is used to combine
%        all the values in the same bin. Specifying @mean, for instance,
%        gives a weighted mean of the x-value as the bin index.
%        Default: [] (indicate to use the bin starts).
%
%      --- Preprocessing ---
%      o 'prebin' - Collect values together for same x. This has the side
%        effect of ensuring the x values are dense, even for zero y values.
%        Default: false.
%      o 'prebinfun' - Specified function to combine values with same x.
%        Default: @mean.
%
%      --- Postprocessing ---
%      o 'nozeros' - Remove any zero yy-values (and corresponding xx) from
%        the output. Default: false.
%
%   EXAMPLES
%   y = [10 8 6 0 4]';
%   [xx,yy] = bindata([],y) % Create 3 bins and gives total per bin.
%   [xx,yy] = bindata([],y,'bin',false) % Returns xx = (1:5)' and yy = y.
%   x = [2 3 5 5 6]';
