generalized interpolation function #1214

Closed bob-carpenter closed 9 years ago

bob-carpenter commented 9 years ago

Jan Scholz (via e-mail) suggested implementing the general form of interpolation used in SciPy.

https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/v0.15.0/scipy/ndimage/interpolation.py#L230

It should be able to handle 2D and 3D structures. Jan says the linear form (order 1) should be enough for his purposes.

For background, BUGS provides an interp.lin function for the 1D case:

The goal would be to get the derivatives working properly in a way that encapsulates the index-fiddling relative to the user and takes care of error conditions.

This would be a nice standalone project.
