Currently, pMuTT only supports the NASA 7 format. The NASA 9 format has several advantages such as more coefficients and an arbitrary number of knots for better curve fitting.
If we do implement this, fitting the polynomial to thermodynamic data should allow the user to:
specify the number of knots,
specify the location of the knots.
If the user doesn't specify these, pMuTT should determine the number of knots for a certain cross-validation error threshold.
