     [y,scale,info]=msentropy(x,dn,dm,dr,N,N0,minM,maxM,maxScale,minR,maxR)

        Wrapper to the Multiscale Entropy C code written by Madalena Costa (mcosta@fas.harvard.edu):

     Required Parameters:

     x
           Nx1 vector of doubles in which to caculate the multiscale entropy.

     Optional Parameters are:
     dn
           1x1 double. Sets the scale increment to dn (1-40; default: 1).
     dm
           1x1 double. Sets the m increment to dm (1-10; default: 1).
     dr
           1x1 double. Sets the scale increment to dr (>0; default: 0.05).
     N
           1x1 integer. Stop the analysis with row N.
           By default, analysis ends at row 39999, or at the end of the data set if there are fewer rows.
     N0
           1x1 integer. Begin the analysis with row N0.
           By default, analysis begins with row 1.
     minM
           1x1 integer betwee 1-10. Set the minimum pattern length for SampEn to minN (1-10; default: 2).
     maxM
            1x1 integer betwee 1-10. Set the maximum m to maxM (1-10; default: 2).
     maxScale
            1x1 integer betwee 1-40. Set the maximum scale for coarse-graining to maxScale (1-40; default: 20).
     minR
            1x1 double >0. Set the minimum similarity criterion for SampEn to minR (>0; default: 0.15).
     maxR
            1x1 double > 0. Set the maximum m to maxR (>0; default: 0.15).

     Outputs:
     y
           A 1xM vector of doubles corresponding to estimated sample entropies at each scale.
     scale
           A 1xM vector of integers specifying the scales in which 'y' was
           estimated.

     info
           An optional 3x1 cell array of strings providing loggin and verbose information from
           the calculation.
