I am trying to interpolate data from a data set. each data point depends on two variables. I wish to interpolate data inbetween them but not sure which function to use.

2 views (last 30 days)
X(variable 1) ranges between 0 to 30.69 and Y (variable 2) has two values 0.06 and 0.015. corrresponding values of the function depdendant on x and y are given in matrix format below. I wish to interpolate points for the X values when the corresponding Y value is 0.03(between 0.06 and 0.015)
6.00E-02 1.50E-02
0 0 0
1 19.7627 44.421
2 20.4254 46.964

Hi, Tania, using the fitting function below for your data:
z = ((1+p1*x+p2*y)/(p3+p4*x+p5*y))*x^p6;
Root of Mean Square Error (RMSE): 0.289317492463695
Sum of Squared Residual: 2.84595678914633
Correlation Coef. (R): 0.999961722670218
R-Square: 0.999923446805589
Parameter Best Estimate
---------- -------------
p1 0.0789662121293465

p5 2.02328157880142
p6 0.00480045399978579
When y=0.03, the corresponded z will be:

Hey Tania,
Since you have 2 independent variables, the scenario that you describe seems to be a curve-fitting problem. Based on the knowledge of what 'X' & 'Y' represent, you may have to estimate the relationship between the output data (F(x,y)) and the 2 input independent variables (X & Y). Once you get the relationship, you could then use that to evaluate F(x,0.03). Note that in theory, there could be multiple curves that could pass through the given set of points.
These following links may have the information needed to establish the relationship:
