interpolointimenetelmän
Interpolointimenetelmän, or interpolation method, refers to a set of techniques used in mathematics and computer science to estimate unknown values between known data points. The fundamental idea is to construct a function that passes through a given set of data points and then use this function to predict values at intermediate points. This is distinct from extrapolation, which estimates values outside the range of the known data.
Various interpolation methods exist, each with its own characteristics and suitability for different applications. Linear interpolation
The choice of interpolation method depends on factors such as the number of data points, the desired
