1. Interpolation

   In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a type of estimation, a method of constructing (finding) new data points based on the range of a discrete set of known data points.In engineering and science, one often has a number of data points, obtained by sampling or experimentation, which represent the values of a function for a limited number of values of the independent variable. It is often required to interpolate; that is, estimate the value of that function for an intermediate value of the independent variable. A closely related problem is the approximation of a complicated function by a simple function. Suppose the formula for some given function is known, but too complicated to evaluate efficiently. A few data points from the original function can be interpolated to produce a simpler function which is still fairly close to the original. The resulting gain in simplicity may outweigh the loss from interpolation error and give better performance in calculation process.

1. interpolation

   Interpolation is a method, used in statistics and mathematics, for estimating values that lie within two known values. It involves estimating unknown data points by using a known set of data points. Interpolation is often used in data analysis, image processing, computer graphics, and other fields to predict or calculate information that is not explicitly available in the given data.

3. Interpolationnoun

   the method or operation of finding from a few given terms of a series, as of numbers or observations, other intermediate terms in conformity with the law of the series

4. Etymology: [L. interpolatio an alteration made here and there: cf. F. interpolation.]

1. Interpolation

   In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, interpolation is a method of constructing new data points within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In engineering and science, one often has a number of data points, obtained by sampling or experimentation, which represent the values of a function for a limited number of values of the independent variable. It is often required to interpolate the value of that function for an intermediate value of the independent variable. This may be achieved by curve fitting or regression analysis. A different problem which is closely related to interpolation is the approximation of a complicated function by a simple function. Suppose the formula for some given function is known, but too complex to evaluate efficiently. A few known data points from the original function can be used to create an interpolation based on a simpler function. Of course, when a simple function is used to estimate data points from the original, interpolation errors are usually present; however, depending on the problem domain and the interpolation method used, the gain in simplicity may be of greater value than the resultant loss in accuracy.

1. Interpolation

   A process used in getting a closer approximation to the truth from two varying observations, as of a galvanometer. The process varies for different cases, but amounts to determining an average or deducing a proportional reading from the discrepant observed ones.
