  2. Extrapolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extrapolation

    It is similar to interpolation, which produces estimates between known observations, but extrapolation is subject to greater uncertainty and a higher risk of producing meaningless results. Extrapolation may also mean extension of a method, assuming similar methods will be applicable.

  3. Interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation

    The simplest interpolation method is to locate the nearest data value, and assign the same value. In simple problems, this method is unlikely to be used, as linear interpolation (see below) is almost as easy, but in higher-dimensional multivariate interpolation, this could be a favourable choice for its speed and simplicity.

  4. Linear interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_interpolation

    Linear interpolation on a data set (red points) consists of pieces of linear interpolants (blue lines). Linear interpolation on a set of data points (x 0, y 0), (x 1, y 1), ..., (x n, y n) is defined as piecewise linear, resulting from the concatenation of linear segment interpolants between each pair of data points.

  5. Statistical classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_classification

    Algorithms of this nature use statistical inference to find the best class for a given instance. Unlike other algorithms, which simply output a "best" class, probabilistic algorithms output a probability of the instance being a member of each of the possible classes. The best class is normally then selected as the one with the highest probability.

    Multivariate interpolation — the function being interpolated depends on more than one variable Barnes interpolation — method for two-dimensional functions using Gaussians common in meteorology; Coons surface — combination of linear interpolation and bilinear interpolation; Lanczos resampling — based on convolution with a sinc function

  7. Regression analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regression_analysis

    Prediction outside this range of the data is known as extrapolation. Performing extrapolation relies strongly on the regression assumptions. The further the extrapolation goes outside the data, the more room there is for the model to fail due to differences between the assumptions and the sample data or the true values.

    ) and the interpolation problem consists of yielding values at arbitrary points (,,, … ) {\displaystyle (x,y,z,\dots )} . Multivariate interpolation is particularly important in geostatistics , where it is used to create a digital elevation model from a set of points on the Earth's surface (for example, spot heights in a topographic survey or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulirsch–Stoer_algorithm

    In numerical analysis, the Bulirsch–Stoer algorithm is a method for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations which combines three powerful ideas: Richardson extrapolation, the use of rational function extrapolation in Richardson-type applications, and the modified midpoint method, [1] to obtain numerical solutions to ordinary ...
