public interface Interpolation
extends java.io.Serializable
In 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, as
obtained by sampling or experimentation, and tries to construct a function
which closely fits those data points. This is called curve fitting or
regression analysis. Interpolation is a specific case of curve fitting,
in which the function must go exactly through the data points.
