Bill, Thank you for the correction; yes, Nevilles' is an algorithm to produce the same Lagrange interpolating polynomial. And thank you for the polynomF package! Don Slowik -- View this message in context: http://r.789695.n4.nabble.com/functions-for-polynomial-and-rational-interplation-tp359533

[R] functions for polynomial and rational interplation?

2011-06-13 Thread dslowik
Are there implementations of, e.g. Neville's algorithm, for interpolating polynomials through some data points? Nevilles' is an improvement on Lagrange interpolation. And how about interpolating rational functions? I could not find anything at rseek.org or at crantastic.org. thanks -- View this me

Thanks Robert. That all seems to work. I also found the MASS::Null() function that gives the null space for the matrix(transpose) given as argument. I am still trying to appreciate the math behind the Moore-Penrose inverse matrix. If you have any suggestions for understanding how to use R to solve
