Interpolation is a way to find values between a pair of data points. The interpolation formula can be used to find the missing value. However, by drawing a straight line through two points on a curve, the value at other points on the curve can be approximated.
What is interpolation used for?
Interpolation is a simple mathematical method investors use to estimate an unknown price or potential yield of a security or asset by using related known values.
