Fits a polynomial of specified degree via lm() and evaluates it at xout.

Usage

interp_poly(x, y, xout, degree = 3)

Arguments

x

Numeric vector of observed x-values (no duplicates).

y

Numeric vector of observed y-values.

xout

Numeric vector of x-values where interpolation is desired.

degree

Integer, degree of the polynomial. Minimum 1.

Value

A tibble with columns x and y. The attribute method is set to "poly".

Examples

x = c(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
y = c(2, 4, 1, 5, 3)
interp_poly(x, y, xout = c(1.5, 2.5, 3.5), degree = 3)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 2
#>       x     y
#>   <dbl> <dbl>
#> 1   1.5  2.39
#> 2   2.5  2.84
#> 3   3.5  3.41
