BARYCENTRIC_INTERP_1D, a Python code which defines and evaluates the barycentric Lagrange polynomial p(x) which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i). The barycentric approach means that very high degree polynomials can safely be used.
CHEBYSHEV_INTERP_1D, a Python code which determines the combination of Chebyshev polynomials which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i).
LAGRANGE_INTERP_1D, a Python code which defines and evaluates the Lagrange polynomial p(x) which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i).
NEAREST_INTERP_1D, a Python code which interpolates a set of data using a piecewise constant interpolant defined by the nearest neighbor criterion.
NEWTON_INTERP_1D, a Python code which finds a polynomial interpolant to data using Newton divided differences.
PWL_INTERP_1D, a Python code which interpolates a set of data using a piecewise linear function.
RBF_INTERP_1D, a Python code which defines and evaluates radial basis function (RBF) interpolants to 1D data.
SHEPARD_INTERP_1D, a Python code which defines and evaluates Shepard interpolants to 1D data, based on inverse distance weighting.
VANDERMONDE_INTERP_1D, a Python code which finds a polynomial interpolant to data y(x) of a 1D argument, by setting up and solving a linear system for the polynomial coefficients, involving the Vandermonde matrix.
