Interpolation
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-005983
A mathematical method for estimating a value within a range of known data points. This technique involves constructing new data points within the bounds of a discrete set of known values. It is often used to predict values between measured experimental observations, such as determining a concentration from a calibration curve.
