Determines the eccentricity of an ellipse of an orientation in the xy-plane (i.e. any tilt) by fitting a perfect ellipse to the data and rotating the ellipse to minimize the mean squared error between the fitted ellipse and the data. Should be useful for calculating the eccentricities of orbiting bodies or any closed-loop paths.
