Function Approximation

Overview


Function approximation takes a limited set of information about a function, such a set of points, or a set of derivatives, and tries to approximate the function from that information.

Approximation by Series


Other Approximation Techniques


  • Interpolation Techniques : take a set of points, sampled from the functions domain with the corresponding function outputs, and tries to create a function that fits the sample points.
  • Optimization : takes a given functional form (that is, a function specified by a set of unknown parameters), and finds the closest fit to a set of points by tuning the parameters that the function depends upon.
  • Machine Learning :
