I am interested in learning (and implementing) an alternative to polynomial interpolation.
However, I am having trouble finding a good description of how these methods work, how they relate, and how they compare.
I would appreciate your input on the pros/cons/conditions under which these methods or alternatives would be useful, but some good references to texts, slides, or podcasts would be sufficient.
note: I asked this question on stats.SE a few weeks ago and received the recommendation to ask here since I have not received an answer.
Thanks!
