scipy.interpolate.NdPPoly

class scipy.interpolate.NdPPoly(c, x, extrapolate=None)

Piecewise tensor product polynomial

The value at point xp = (x', y', z', ...) is evaluated by first computing the interval indices i such that:

x[0][i[0]] <= x' < x[0][i[0]+1]
x[1][i[1]] <= y' < x[1][i[1]+1]
...

and then computing:

S = sum(c[k0-m0-1,...,kn-mn-1,i[0],...,i[n]]
        * (xp[0] - x[0][i[0]])**m0
        * ...
        * (xp[n] - x[n][i[n]])**mn
        for m0 in range(k[0]+1)
        ...
        for mn in range(k[n]+1))

where k[j] is the degree of the polynomial in dimension j. This representation is the piecewise multivariate power basis.

Parameters

cndarray, shape (k0, …, kn, m0, …, mn, …)

Polynomial coefficients, with polynomial order kj and mj+1 intervals for each dimension j.

xndim-tuple of ndarrays, shapes (mj+1,)

Polynomial breakpoints for each dimension. These must be sorted in increasing order.

extrapolatebool, optional

Whether to extrapolate to out-of-bounds points based on first and last intervals, or to return NaNs. Default: True.
