Interpolation is the process of estimating the value of some data and processing it in-line with other data obtained from another source.
Extrapolation is the ability to estimate the value of something outside a known range from values within that range by assuming that the unknown quantity follows logically from an analysis of the known ones
Interpolation is filling in the data points between the data that has already been collected. Extrapolation is filling in data points beyond the data that has already been collected, or extending the data.
It's called illogical extrapolation.
Interpolation offers several advantages, including the ability to estimate values within a range of known data points, which can enhance data analysis and visualization. It is often computationally efficient and can provide smooth transitions between data points. However, its disadvantages include the potential for inaccuracies if the data is not well-behaved or if it contains noise, and it may produce misleading results outside the range of known data (extrapolation). Additionally, the choice of interpolation method can significantly affect the results, necessitating careful selection based on the data characteristics.
Extrapolation.
When I run 10 miles in 10 minutes, I use extrapolation to see how long it takes to run 30 miles. =_=

Interpolation and Extrapolation
Interpolation & extrapolation
interpolation, because we are predicting from data in the range used to create the least-squares line.
The results are more reliable for interpolation .
Interpolation is filling in the data points between the data that has already been collected. Extrapolation is filling in data points beyond the data that has already been collected, or extending the data.
Interpolation is a math method of estimating an answer for something when you know 2 data points, one greater and one less than the answer you are looking for. Extrapolation estimates an answer for a data point when you know data either greater than or less than the one you need, but not both.
Both, interpolation and extrapolation are used to predict, or estimate, the value of one variable when the value (or values) of other variable (or variables) is known. This is done by extending evaluating the underlying function. For interpolation, the point in question is within the domain of the observed values (there are observations for greater and for smaller values of the variables) wheres for extrapolation the point in question is outside the domain.

Extrapolation involves estimating values outside the range of known data points, while interpolation estimates values within that range. Interpolation is generally more accurate because it relies on existing data and trends, whereas extrapolation can lead to larger errors due to assumptions about the behavior of the data beyond the observed range. The accuracy of both methods can vary based on the nature of the data and the model used.
