A Method of Smooth Curve Fitting.

摘要

A new mathematical method of fitting a smooth curve to a set of given points in a plane is developed, and a computer subroutine is programmed to implement the method. This method is devised in such a way that the resultant curve will pass through all the given points and will look smooth and natural. The interpolation between the given points is performed locally, and no assumption of the functional form is made for the whole curve. (Author)
