All Implemented Interfaces:

UnivariateInterpolator

public class AkimaSplineInterpolator
extends java.lang.Object
implements UnivariateInterpolator

Computes a cubic spline interpolation for the data set using the Akima algorithm, as originally formulated by Hiroshi Akima in his 1970 paper "A New Method of Interpolation and Smooth Curve Fitting Based on Local Procedures." J. ACM 17, 4 (October 1970), 589-602. DOI=10.1145/321607.321609 http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/321607.321609

This implementation is based on the Akima implementation in the CubicSpline class in the Math.NET Numerics library. The method referenced is CubicSpline.InterpolateAkimaSorted

The interpolate method returns a PolynomialSplineFunction consisting of n cubic polynomials, defined over the subintervals determined by the x values, x[0] < x[i] ... < x[n]. The Akima algorithm requires that n >= 5.

Method Details

interpolate

public PolynomialSplineFunction interpolate(double[] xvals, double[] yvals) throws DimensionMismatchException, NumberIsTooSmallException, NonMonotonicSequenceException

Computes an interpolating function for the data set.

Specified by:

interpolate in interface UnivariateInterpolator

Parameters:

xvals - the arguments for the interpolation points

yvals - the values for the interpolation points

Returns:

a function which interpolates the data set

Throws:

DimensionMismatchException - if xvals and yvals have different sizes.

NonMonotonicSequenceException - if xvals is not sorted in strict increasing order.

NumberIsTooSmallException - if the size of xvals is smaller than 5.
