# krogh_interpolate

scipy.interpolate.krogh_interpolate(xi, yi, x, der=0, axis=0)

  Convenience function for polynomial interpolation.

  See `KroghInterpolator` for more details.

  Parameters:
    xi array_like

      Interpolation points (known x-coordinates).

    yi array_like

      Known y-coordinates, of shape `(xi.size, R)`. Interpreted as vectors of length R, or scalars if R=1.

    x array_like

      Point or points at which to evaluate the derivatives.

    der int or list or None, optional

      How many derivatives to evaluate, or None for all potentially nonzero derivatives (that is, a number equal to the number of points), or a list of derivatives to evaluate. This number includes the function value as the ‘0th’ derivative.

    axis int, optional

      Axis in the yi array corresponding to the x-coordinate values.

  Returns:
    d ndarray

      If the interpolator’s values are R-D then the returned array will be the number of derivatives by N by R. If x is a scalar, the middle dimension will be dropped; if the yi are scalars then the last dimension will be dropped.

  Notes

  Construction of the interpolating polynomial is a relatively expensive process. If you want to evaluate it repeatedly consider using the class KroghInterpolator (which is what this function uses).

  Examples

  We can interpolate 2D observed data using Krogh interpolation:

      >>> import numpy as np
      >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
      >>> from scipy.interpolate import krogh_interpolate
      >>> x_observed = np.linspace(0.0, 10.0, 11)
      >>> y_observed = np.sin(x_observed)
      >>> x = np.linspace(min(x_observed), max(x_observed), num=100)
      >>> y = krogh_interpolate(x_observed, y_observed, x)
      >>> plt.plot(x_observed, y_observed, "o", label="observation")
      >>> plt.plot(x, y, label="krogh interpolation")
      >>> plt.legend()
      >>> plt.show()
