Interpolate data with a piecewise cubic polynomial which is twice continuously differentiable [1]_. The result is represented as a `PPoly` instance with breakpoints matching the given data. Parameters ---------- x : array_like, shape (n,) 1-D array containing values of the independent variable. Values must be real, finite and in strictly increasing order. y : array_like Array containing values of the dependent variable. It can have arbitrary number of dimensions, but the length along ``axis`` (see below) must match the length of ``x``. Values must be finite. axis : int, optional Axis along which `y` is assumed to be varying. Meaning that for ``x[i]`` the corresponding values are ``np.take(y, i, axis=axis)``. Default is 0. bc_type : string or 2-tuple, optional Boundary condition type. Two additional equations, given by the boundary conditions, are required to determine all coefficients of polynomials on each segment [2]_. If `bc_type` is a string, then the specified condition will be applied at both ends of a spline. Available conditions are: * 'not-a-knot' (default): The first and second segment at a curve end are the same polynomial. It is a good default when there is no information on boundary conditions. * 'periodic': The interpolated functions is assumed to be periodic of period ``x[-1] - x[0]``. The first and last value of `y` must be identical: ``y[0] == y[-1]``. This boundary condition will result in ``y'[0] == y'[-1]`` and ``y''[0] == y''[-1]``. * 'clamped': The first derivative at curves ends are zero. Assuming a 1D `y`, ``bc_type=((1, 0.0), (1, 0.0))`` is the same condition. * 'natural': The second derivative at curve ends are zero. Assuming a 1D `y`, ``bc_type=((2, 0.0), (2, 0.0))`` is the same condition. If `bc_type` is a 2-tuple, the first and the second value will be applied at the curve start and end respectively. The tuple values can be one of the previously mentioned strings (except 'periodic') or a tuple `(order, deriv_values)` allowing to specify arbitrary derivatives at curve ends: * `order`: the derivative order, 1 or 2. * `deriv_value`: array_like containing derivative values, shape must be the same as `y`, excluding ``axis`` dimension. For example, if `y` is 1-D, then `deriv_value` must be a scalar. If `y` is 3-D with the shape (n0, n1, n2) and axis=2, then `deriv_value` must be 2-D and have the shape (n0, n1). extrapolate : {bool, 'periodic', None}, optional If bool, determines whether to extrapolate to out-of-bounds points based on first and last intervals, or to return NaNs. If 'periodic', periodic extrapolation is used. If None (default), ``extrapolate`` is set to 'periodic' for ``bc_type='periodic'`` and to True otherwise. Attributes ---------- x : ndarray, shape (n,) Breakpoints. The same ``x`` which was passed to the constructor. c : ndarray, shape (4, n-1, ...) Coefficients of the polynomials on each segment. The trailing dimensions match the dimensions of `y`, excluding ``axis``. For example, if `y` is 1-d, then ``c[k, i]`` is a coefficient for ``(x-x[i])**(3-k)`` on the segment between ``x[i]`` and ``x[i+1]``. axis : int Interpolation axis. The same axis which was passed to the constructor. Methods ------- __call__ derivative antiderivative integrate roots See Also -------- Akima1DInterpolator : Akima 1D interpolator. PchipInterpolator : PCHIP 1-D monotonic cubic interpolator. PPoly : Piecewise polynomial in terms of coefficients and breakpoints. Notes ----- Parameters `bc_type` and ``extrapolate`` work independently, i.e. the former controls only construction of a spline, and the latter only evaluation. When a boundary condition is 'not-a-knot' and n = 2, it is replaced by a condition that the first derivative is equal to the linear interpolant slope. When both boundary conditions are 'not-a-knot' and n = 3, the solution is sought as a parabola passing through given points. When 'not-a-knot' boundary conditions is applied to both ends, the resulting spline will be the same as returned by `splrep` (with ``s=0``) and `InterpolatedUnivariateSpline`, but these two methods use a representation in B-spline basis. .. versionadded:: 0.18.0 Examples -------- In this example the cubic spline is used to interpolate a sampled sinusoid. You can see that the spline continuity property holds for the first and second derivatives and violates only for the third derivative. >>> import numpy as np >>> from scipy.interpolate import CubicSpline >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt >>> x = np.arange(10) >>> y = np.sin(x) >>> cs = CubicSpline(x, y) >>> xs = np.arange(-0.5, 9.6, 0.1) >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6.5, 4)) >>> ax.plot(x, y, 'o', label='data') >>> ax.plot(xs, np.sin(xs), label='true') >>> ax.plot(xs, cs(xs), label="S") >>> ax.plot(xs, cs(xs, 1), label="S'") >>> ax.plot(xs, cs(xs, 2), label="S''") >>> ax.plot(xs, cs(xs, 3), label="S'''") >>> ax.set_xlim(-0.5, 9.5) >>> ax.legend(loc='lower left', ncol=2) >>> plt.show() In the second example, the unit circle is interpolated with a spline. A periodic boundary condition is used. You can see that the first derivative values, ds/dx=0, ds/dy=1 at the periodic point (1, 0) are correctly computed. Note that a circle cannot be exactly represented by a cubic spline. To increase precision, more breakpoints would be required. >>> theta = 2 * np.pi * np.linspace(0, 1, 5) >>> y = np.c_[np.cos(theta), np.sin(theta)] >>> cs = CubicSpline(theta, y, bc_type='periodic') >>> print("ds/dx={:.1f} ds/dy={:.1f}".format(cs(0, 1)[0], cs(0, 1)[1])) ds/dx=0.0 ds/dy=1.0 >>> xs = 2 * np.pi * np.linspace(0, 1, 100) >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(6.5, 4)) >>> ax.plot(y[:, 0], y[:, 1], 'o', label='data') >>> ax.plot(np.cos(xs), np.sin(xs), label='true') >>> ax.plot(cs(xs)[:, 0], cs(xs)[:, 1], label='spline') >>> ax.axes.set_aspect('equal') >>> ax.legend(loc='center') >>> plt.show() The third example is the interpolation of a polynomial y = x**3 on the interval 0 <= x<= 1. A cubic spline can represent this function exactly. To achieve that we need to specify values and first derivatives at endpoints of the interval. Note that y' = 3 * x**2 and thus y'(0) = 0 and y'(1) = 3. >>> cs = CubicSpline([0, 1], [0, 1], bc_type=((1, 0), (1, 3))) >>> x = np.linspace(0, 1) >>> np.allclose(x**3, cs(x)) True References ---------- ..
