Specifying an integer as a kind we'll set the order of the polynomials, taking into account that the order has to be lower than the number of known points: f4 = interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind=4)

Plt.plot(xn, ynq, label='Quadratic spline') Plt.plot(xn, y0, '-k', label='True values') Setting kind as quadratic or cubic we'll calculate the second and third order spline: fq = interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind='quadratic')ДЇc = interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind='cubic') The easiest way to use splines in scipy is, again, with interp1d. Let's change our data: x = np.linspace(0, 2, 8) SplinesДЄ spline is composed of polynomial functions connected by knots and, unlike the polynomial interpolation, does not present Runge's phenomenon, making the spline interpolation a stable and extended method of interpolation. The use of the class-based approach is recommended if we need to evaluate the xn data more than once, since we already have our polynomial calculated. We can calculate the interpolated values directly with the interpolation functions: yn = interpolate.barycentric_interpolate(x, y, xn)ДЄlternativelly, we can use the class-based interpolators to generate a polynomial from the known points and then, call this polynomial with our xn data: f = interpolate.BarycentricInterpolator(x, y) The barycentric interpolation uses Lagrange polynomials. Just to mention and to introduce different interpolation problems approaches in scipy, let's see the Lagrange interpolation: f = interpolate.lagrange(x, y) Lagrange or Newton are examples of polynomial interpolation. Due to this, it is much better idea the use of Chebyshev polynomials or interpolate using splines (more later). Polynominal interpolation algorithms are computationally expensive and can present oscillator artifacts in the extremes due to the Runge's phenomenon.

The univariate nearest-neighbor interpolation takes the same value of the closest known point: f = interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind='nearest') interp1d offers different interpolation methods by the kind argument and the default is linear: f = interpolate.interp1d(x, y, kind='linear') The ( interp1d) object will be created from the known points and we can obtain yn evaluating itself with the corresponding xn. It's time to introduce the scipy's one-dimension interpolate class. We can compute a linear interpolation with numpy: yn = np.interp(xn, x, y) We'll do some examples with this values: x = np.linspace(0, 4, 12) The linear interpolation is easy to compute but not precise, due to the discontinuites at the points. Plt.plot(xn, yn, label='Interpolated values') Plt.plot(x, y, 'ok', label='Known points') If nothing about the plots is said, they will be generated as: plt.plot(xn, y0, '-k', label='True values') As a representation, y0 will be the true values, generated from the original function to show the interpolator behavior. We will need to obtain the interpolated values yn for xn. In the next examples, x and y represents the known points. Let's see some interpolation examples for one and two-dimensional data.ДЇirst of all, the required modules: import numpy as np Interpolation methods in Scipy numerical-analysis interpolation python numpy scipyДЄmong other numerical analysis modules, scipy covers some interpolation algorithms as well as a different approaches to use them to calculate an interpolation, evaluate a polynomial with the representation of the interpolation, calculate derivatives, integrals or roots with functional and class-based interfaces.
