maths.numerical_analysis.nevilles_method ======================================== .. py:module:: maths.numerical_analysis.nevilles_method .. autoapi-nested-parse:: Python program to show how to interpolate and evaluate a polynomial using Neville's method. Neville's method evaluates a polynomial that passes through a given set of x and y points for a particular x value (x0) using the Newton polynomial form.

Arguments: x_points, y_points: Iterables of x and corresponding y points through which the polynomial passes. x0: The value of x to evaluate the polynomial for. Return Value: A list of the approximated value and the Neville iterations table respectively. >>> import pprint >>> neville_interpolate((1,2,3,4,6), (6,7,8,9,11), 5)[0] 10.0 >>> pprint.pprint(neville_interpolate((1,2,3,4,6), (6,7,8,9,11), 99)[1]) [[0, 6, 0, 0, 0], [0, 7, 0, 0, 0], [0, 8, 104.0, 0, 0], [0, 9, 104.0, 104.0, 0], [0, 11, 104.0, 104.0, 104.0]] >>> neville_interpolate((1,2,3,4,6), (6,7,8,9,11), 99)[0] 104.0 >>> neville_interpolate((1,2,3,4,6), (6,7,8,9,11), '') Traceback (most recent call last): ...
