Usage

neville(x, y, xs)

Arguments

x-, y-coordinates of data points defining the polynomial.

xs

single point to be interpolated.

Value

• Interpolated value at xs of the polynomial defined by x,y.

Details

Examples

p <- Poly(c(1, 2, 3))
fp <- function(x) polyval(p, x)

x <- 0:4; y <- fp(x)
xx <- linspace(0, 4, 51)
yy <- numeric(51)
for (i in 1:51) yy[i] <- neville(x, y, xx[i])

ezplot(fp, 0, 4)
points(xx, yy)
