The second polynomial suggests that the actual form of theįigure 2. Additionally, looking at the coefficients, In Figure 2, we note that the quadratic function seems toįit the points better. We note that both techniques give answers, but if we plotīoth the points and the interpolating polynomials, as shown Quadratic function to estimate the value of x = 1.5. Using extrapolation with a linear function and a We can plot the points with the following additional commands: Matlab to extrapolate the y value when x = 4.5. Given the following data which is known to be linear, use The least-squares fitting line, and the extrapolated point areįigure 1. Our approximation of the value at 2.3 is 3.3611. Given the following data which is known to be linear, The error in our extrapolated value depends on how far Toolsįind the least-squares regression curve, and evaluate On which we may either apply linear regression, or may applyĪ transformation to linear regression. We will assume the data is correctly modeled by a curve The appropriate form (e.g., linear, exponential) and evaluate theĮxtrapolate a value outside the range of x values. To successfully extrapolate data, you must have correct model information,Īnd if possible, use the data to find a best-fitting curve of If you take nothing else from this topic, remember: youĬannot use an interpolating polynomial to extrapolate a value. Extrapolation of exponentially decaying points in Example 4. The appropriateness of theĮxtrapolating estimator should be apparent.įigure 1.
The data, the interpolating polynomial (blue), and the least-squares We may approximate the value at x = 2 by evaluating We are told that this data is linear, then we may find the Nothing which may give us a good approximation. Thus, for example, if you are given the points Less than the error associated with extrapolating an interpolating With extrapolating a least-squares fitting curve is significantly It can be shown that the error associated Quadratic, or exponential, we may use least-squares to findĪ best-fitting curve. Information is available, for example, that the data is linear, Outside the range of x values, the error increases However, if we are trying to approximate a value at a value
Points near the center of the x values is quite accurate.
