Calculate the best estimate of intersection.

Calculates the best estimates of the intersection of two y-value data sets that share a common x-value set.

Parameters:

x (array-like) – 1-dimensional array of numeric x-values
a (array-like) – 1-dimensional array of y-values for line 1
b (array-like) – 1-dimensional array of y-values for line 2
direction (string, optional) – specifies direction of crossing. ‘all’, ‘increasing’ (a becoming greater than b), or ‘decreasing’ (b becoming greater than a). Defaults to ‘all’.
