of which are described in this section. <a href="Polynomial-Interpolation.html">Polynomial Interpolation</a>
and <a href="Interpolation-on-Scattered-Data.html">Interpolation on Scattered Data</a> describe additional methods.

<p>One-dimensional interpolation.
</p>
<p>Interpolate input data to determine the value of <var>yi</var> at the points
<var>xi</var>. If not specified, <var>x</var> is taken to be the indices of <var>y</var>
(<code>1:length (<var>y</var>)</code>). If <var>y</var> is a matrix or an N-dimensional
array, the interpolation is performed on each column of <var>y</var>.
</p>
<p>The interpolation <var>method</var> is one of:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>"nearest"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Return the nearest neighbor.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"previous"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Return the previous neighbor.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"next"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Return the next neighbor.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"linear"</code> (default)</dt>
<dd><p>Linear interpolation from nearest neighbors.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"pchip"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Piecewise cubic Hermite interpolating polynomial—shape-preserving
interpolation with smooth first derivative.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"cubic"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Cubic interpolation (same as <code>"pchip"</code>).
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>"spline"</code></dt>
<dd><p>Cubic spline interpolation—smooth first and second derivatives
throughout the curve.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>Adding ’*’ to the start of any method above forces <code>interp1</code>
to assume that <var>x</var> is uniformly spaced, and only <code><var>x</var>(1)</code>
and <code><var>x</var>(2)</code> are referenced. This is usually faster,
and is never slower. The default method is <code>"linear"</code>.
</p>
<p>If <var>extrap</var> is the string <code>"extrap"</code>, then extrapolate values
beyond the endpoints using the current <var>method</var>. If <var>extrap</var> is a
number, then replace values beyond the endpoints with that number. When
unspecified, <var>extrap</var> defaults to <code>NA</code>.
</p>
<p>If the string argument <code>"pp"</code> is specified, then <var>xi</var> should not
be supplied and <code>interp1</code> returns a piecewise polynomial object. This
object can later be used with <code>ppval</code> to evaluate the interpolation.
There is an equivalence, such that <code>ppval (interp1 (<var>x</var>,
<var>y</var>, <var>method</var>, <code>"pp"</code>), <var>xi</var>) == interp1 (<var>x</var>,
<var>y</var>, <var>xi</var>, <var>method</var>, <code>"extrap"</code>)</code>.
</p>
<p>Duplicate points in <var>x</var> specify a discontinuous interpolant. There
may be at most 2 consecutive points with the same value.
If <var>x</var> is increasing, the default discontinuous interpolant is
right-continuous. If <var>x</var> is decreasing, the default discontinuous
interpolant is left-continuous.
The continuity condition of the interpolant may be specified by using
the options <code>"left"</code> or <code>"right"</code> to select a left-continuous
or right-continuous interpolant, respectively.
Discontinuous interpolation is only allowed for <code>"nearest"</code> and
<code>"linear"</code> methods; in all other cases, the <var>x</var>-values must be
unique.
</p>
<p>An example of the use of <code>interp1</code> is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">xf = [0:0.05:10];
yf = sin (2*pi*xf/5);
xp = [0:10];
yp = sin (2*pi*xp/5);
lin = interp1 (xp, yp, xf);
near = interp1 (xp, yp, xf, "nearest");
pch = interp1 (xp, yp, xf, "pchip");
spl = interp1 (xp, yp, xf, "spline");
plot (xf,yf,"r", xf,near,"g", xf,lin,"b", xf,pch,"c", xf,spl,"m",
xp,yp,"r*");
legend ("original", "nearest", "linear", "pchip", "spline");
</pre></div>
<p><strong>See also:</strong> <a href="Signal-Processing.html#XREFpchip">pchip</a>, <a href="#XREFspline">spline</a>, <a href="#XREFinterpft">interpft</a>, <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Interpolation.html#XREFinterp2">interp2</a>, <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Interpolation.html#XREFinterp3">interp3</a>, <a href="Multi_002ddimensional-Interpolation.html#XREFinterpn">interpn</a>.
</p></dd></dl>
<p>There are some important differences between the various interpolation
methods. The <code>"spline"</code> method enforces that both the first and second
derivatives of the interpolated values have a continuous derivative,
whereas the other methods do not. This means that the results of the
<code>"spline"</code> method are generally smoother. If the function to be
interpolated is in fact smooth, then <code>"spline"</code> will give excellent
results. However, if the function to be evaluated is in some manner
discontinuous, then <code>"pchip"</code> interpolation might give better results.
</p>
<p>This can be demonstrated by the code
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">t = -2:2;
dt = 1;
ti =-2:0.025:2;
dti = 0.025;
y = sign (t);
ys = interp1 (t,y,ti,"spline");
yp = interp1 (t,y,ti,"pchip");
ddys = diff (diff (ys)./dti) ./ dti;
ddyp = diff (diff (yp)./dti) ./ dti;
figure (1);
plot (ti,ys,"r-", ti,yp,"g-");
legend ("spline", "pchip", 4);
figure (2);
plot (ti,ddys,"r+", ti,ddyp,"g*");
legend ("spline", "pchip");

<p>Fourier interpolation, is a resampling technique where a signal is
converted to the frequency domain, padded with zeros and then
reconverted to the time domain.
</p>
<span id="XREFinterpft"></span><dl>
<dt id="index-interpft">: <em></em> <strong>interpft</strong> <em>(<var>x</var>, <var>n</var>)</em></dt>

<dd>
<p>Fourier interpolation.
</p>
<p>If <var>x</var> is a vector then <var>x</var> is resampled with <var>n</var> points. The
data in <var>x</var> is assumed to be equispaced. If <var>x</var> is a matrix or an
N-dimensional array, the interpolation is performed on each column of
<var>x</var>.
</p>
<p>If <var>dim</var> is specified, then interpolate along the dimension <var>dim</var>.
</p>
<p><code>interpft</code> assumes that the interpolated function is periodic, and so
assumptions are made about the endpoints of the interpolation.
</p>
<p><strong>See also:</strong> <a href="#XREFinterp1">interp1</a>.
</p></dd></dl>
<p>There are two significant limitations on Fourier interpolation. First,
the function signal is assumed to be periodic, and so non-periodic
signals will be poorly represented at the edges. Second, both the
signal and its interpolation are required to be sampled at equispaced
points. An example of the use of <code>interpft</code> is
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">t = 0 : 0.3 : pi; dt = t(2)-t(1);
n = length (t); k = 100;
ti = t(1) + [0 : k-1]*dt*n/k;
y = sin (4*t + 0.3) .* cos (3*t - 0.1);
yp = sin (4*ti + 0.3) .* cos (3*ti - 0.1);
plot (ti, yp, "g", ti, interp1 (t, y, ti, "spline"), "b", ...
ti, interpft (y, k), "c", t, y, "r+");
legend ("sin(4t+0.3)cos(3t-0.1)", "spline", "interpft", "data");
</pre></div>
<p>which demonstrates the poor behavior of Fourier interpolation for non-periodic
functions, as can be seen in <a href="#fig_003ainterpft">Figure 29.3</a>.
</p>
<div class="float"><span id="fig_003ainterpft"></span>
<div align="center"><img src="interpft.png" alt="interpft">
</div>
<div class="float-caption"><p><strong>Figure 29.3: </strong>Comparison of <code>interp1</code> and <code>interpft</code> for non-periodic data</p></div></div>
<p>In addition, the support functions <code>spline</code> and <code>lookup</code> that
underlie the <code>interp1</code> function can be called directly.
</p>
<span id="XREFspline"></span><dl>
<dt id="index-spline">: <em><var>pp</var> =</em> <strong>spline</strong> <em>(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>)</em></dt>
<dt id="index-spline-1">: <em><var>yi</var> =</em> <strong>spline</strong> <em>(<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, <var>xi</var>)</em></dt>
<dd><p>Return the cubic spline interpolant of points <var>x</var> and <var>y</var>.
</p>
<p>When called with two arguments, return the piecewise polynomial <var>pp</var>
that may be used with <code>ppval</code> to evaluate the polynomial at specific
points.
</p>
<p>When called with a third input argument, <code>spline</code> evaluates the spline
at the points <var>xi</var>. The third calling form
<code>spline (<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>, <var>xi</var>)</code> is equivalent to
<code>ppval (spline (<var>x</var>, <var>y</var>), <var>xi</var>)</code>.
</p>
<p>The variable <var>x</var> must be a vector of length <var>n</var>.
</p>
<p><var>y</var> can be either a vector or array. If <var>y</var> is a vector it must
have a length of either <var>n</var> or <code><var>n</var> + 2</code>. If the length of
<var>y</var> is <var>n</var>, then the <code>"not-a-knot"</code> end condition is used.
If the length of <var>y</var> is <code><var>n</var> + 2</code>, then the first and last
values of the vector <var>y</var> are the values of the first derivative of the
cubic spline at the endpoints.
</p>
<p>If <var>y</var> is an array, then the size of <var>y</var> must have the form
<code>[<var>s1</var>, <var>s2</var>, …, <var>sk</var>, <var>n</var>]</code>
or
<code>[<var>s1</var>, <var>s2</var>, …, <var>sk</var>, <var>n</var> + 2]</code>.
The array is reshaped internally to a matrix where the leading
dimension is given by
<code><var>s1</var> * <var>s2</var> * … * <var>sk</var></code>
and each row of this matrix is then treated separately. Note that this is
exactly the opposite of <code>interp1</code> but is done for <small>MATLAB</small>
compatibility.
