Interpolate the x-positions of roots/sign changes in the data in y. This is helpful if you want to treat the positive and negative parts of y differently.
Example: y = x^3 - 4*x has three roots at x = -2, x = 0 and x = 2. The vector
x = linspace(-3, 3, 50)
does not include these roots.
y = x.^3 - 4.*x;
[xNew, yNew] = interpolateRoots(x, y)
interpolates the roots to x = -1.9984, x = 0 and x = 1.9984 and returns the extended vectors xNew and yNew including these interpolated roots at the corresponding positions. xNew and yNew are 53 elements long while x and y contain 50 elements.
