Thanks to Kit Baum, a new Mata function called
-ipolate()- is available from SSC.
-ipolate()- does linear interpolation. Results are
equivalent to those optained by Stata's -ipolate-
command (without the -epolate- option).
To install the function, type
. ssc install mf_ipolate
Then, to view the help file, type
. help mata ipolate()
or
. help mf_ipolate
There has been a discussion today on statalist about
-ipolate- averaging multiple data values. The new
Mata function -ipolate()- also applies averaging.
I stumbled over the averaging issue while bug testing.
I my original application there are, in fact, only
single data values for the grid points.
