Interpolation of Multiple 1-D Value Sets

Open Live Script

This example shows how to interpolate three 1-D data sets in a single pass using griddedInterpolant. This is a faster alternative to looping over your data sets.

Define the x-coordinates that are common to all value sets. 

x = (1:5)';

Define the sets of sample points along the columns of matrix V. 

V = [x, 2*x, 3*x]
V = 5×3

     1     2     3
     2     4     6
     3     6     9
     4     8    12
     5    10    15

Create the interpolant F by passing the sample points and sample values to griddedInterpolant. With this setup, griddedInterpolant interprets V as containing three different 1-D data sets defined at the same x-values.

F = griddedInterpolant(x,V);

Create a vector of query points with 0.5 spacing.

qx = 1:0.5:5;

Evaluate the interpolant at the x-coordinates for each value set. 

Vq = F(qx)
Vq = 9×3
