interpolant

Noun

Meaning

A point interpolated between others

(mathematics) A function used to generate interpolation

Examples

For example, the interpolant above has a local maximum at x ≈ 1.566, f(x) ≈ 1.003 and a local minimum at x ≈ 4.708, f(x) ≈ −1.003. Source: Internet

Gaussian processes can be used not only for fitting an interpolant that passes exactly through the given data points but also for regression, i.e., for fitting a curve through noisy data. Source: Internet

In curve fitting problems, the constraint that the interpolant has to go exactly through the data points is relaxed. Source: Internet

The interpolation error is proportional to the distance between the data points to the power n. Furthermore, the interpolant is a polynomial and thus infinitely differentiable. Source: Internet
