interpolation
(noun)
the process of estimating the value of a function at a point from its values at nearby points
Examples of interpolation in the following topics:
-
The Regression Method
- Sometimes statisticians will use interpolation to predict data points within the range of known data points.
-
Percentiles
- When R is not an integer, we compute the Pth percentile by interpolation as follows:
- Interpolate by multiplying the difference between the scores by FR and add the result to the lower score.
-
A Graph of Averages
- The line is a model that can be used to make predictions, whether it is interpolation or extrapolation.
-
Solutions to Exercises in Chapter 13
- NOTE: The process of predicting inside of the observed x values in the data is called interpolation.
-
Applications of Statistics
- It can include extrapolation and interpolation of time series or spatial data and can also include data mining.
-
Fundamentals of Statistics
- It can include extrapolation and interpolation of time series or spatial data, and can also include data mining.
-
Predictions and Probabilistic Models
- Prediction within the range of values in the data set used for model-fitting is known informally as interpolation.

Glossary
- When R is not an integer, we compute the Pth percentile by interpolation as follows:
- Interpolate by multiplying the difference between the scores by FR and add the result to the lower score.
