akima
Akima spline interpolation function.
Syntax
akima(old_x, old_y, new_x)
Argument
- old_x
- The x vector of the curve to be interpolated.
- old_y
- The y vector of the curve to be interpolated.
- new_x
- A vector containing x values for which new y values are to be calculated.
Example
| Templex Expression | Result |
|---|---|
{akima({0,3,5,8}, |
2.68861, 3.74086, 5, |
{2,5,9,7} ,1:5:1)} |
6.89752, 9 |
| Curve Math Vectors | Result |
|---|---|
x = new_x
|
Given c1, a curve is created with interpolated y values at each point of new_x. |
Comments
The Akima spline function estimates a y-value for each element in new_x such that the new points lie on or near the curve defined by old_x, old_y. old_x and new_x must be strictly increasing. The resulting vector contains a y-value estimate for each element in new_x.
The Akima spline function performs interpolation only. All values of new_x must fall between the minimum of old_x and the maximum of old_x. The new values are obtained using the Akima spline interpolation method.
