[jira] [Comment Edited] (MATH-1138) BicubicSplineInterpolator is returning incorrect interpolated values

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-1138?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14159777#comment-14159777 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm still working on the new coding up.  I'm trying to investigate why I'm not getting the same numerical accuracies out of my Apache Math implementation as I am out of my Octave implementation.  My linear case is only matching to within 1e-13 while it should be matching to within 1e-14, according to the results I get from Octave's built in function and my own hand coded function.  My parabaloid test should be within 1e-14 as well, but I'm no where near that.  I'm currently investigating the Spline interpolator.  The sensitivities on that object's tests aren't cranked down anywhere near 1e-14/1e-15.  I checked Math.NET unit tests and theirs are cranked down to that level, as are the levels I'm seeing in Octave.  I was therefore going to add some additional tests modeled after the Math.NET tests (the are using an MIT license, so that's compatible with this project).

> I have encountered a use case with the BicubicSplineInterpolator where the interpolated values that are being returned seem incorrect.  Furthermore, the values do not match those generated by MatLab using the interp2 'cubic' method.
> Here is a snippet of code that uses the interpolator:
>         double[] xValues = new double[] {36, 36.001, 36.002};
>         double[] yValues = new double[] {-108.00, -107.999, -107.998};
>         double[][] fValues = new double[][] {{1915, 1906, 1931},
>                                         {1877, 1889, 1894},
>                                         {1878, 1873, 1888}};
>         BicubicSplineInterpolator interpolator = new BicubicSplineInterpolator();
>         BicubicSplineInterpolatingFunction interpolatorFunction = interpolator.interpolate(xValues, yValues, fValues);
>         double[][] results = new double[9][9];
>         double x = 36;
>         int arrayIndexX = 0, arrayIndexY = 0;
>         while(x <= 36.002) {
>             double y = -108;
>             arrayIndexY = 0;
>             while (y <= -107.998) {
>                 results[arrayIndexX][arrayIndexY] = interpolatorFunction.value(x,  y);
>                 System.out.println(results[arrayIndexX][arrayIndexY]);
>                 y = y + 0.00025;
>                 arrayIndexY++;
>             }
>             x = x + 0.00025;
>             arrayIndexX++;
>         }
> Attached is a grid showing x and y values and the corresponding interpolated value from both commons math and MatLab.
> The values produced by commons math are far off from those created by MatLab.
