# numpy.polynomial.hermite_e.hermevander

`numpy.polynomial.hermite_e.``hermevander`(x, deg)

  Pseudo-Vandermonde matrix of given degree.

  Returns the pseudo-Vandermonde matrix of degree deg and sample points x. The pseudo-Vandermonde matrix is defined by

  where 0 <= i <= deg. The leading indices of V index the elements of x and the last index is the degree of the HermiteE polynomial.

  If c is a 1-D array of coefficients of length n + 1 and V is the array `V = hermevander(x, n)`, then `np.dot(V, c)` and `hermeval(x, c)` are the same up to roundoff. This equivalence is useful both for least squares fitting and for the evaluation of a large number of HermiteE 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 HermiteE polynomial. The dtype will be the same as the converted x.

  Examples

      >>> from numpy.polynomial.hermite_e import hermevander
      >>> x = np.array([-1, 0, 1])
      >>> hermevander(x, 3)
      array([[ 1., -1.,  0.,  2.],
             [ 1.,  0., -1., -0.],
             [ 1.,  1.,  0., -2.]])
