yi = interp1q(x,Y,xi) returns the value of the 1-D function Y at the points of column vector xi using linear interpolation. The vector x specifies the coordinates of the underlying interval. The length of output yi is equal to the length of xi.

interp1q is quicker than interp1 on non-uniformly spaced data because it does no input checking.

For interp1q to work properly,

x must be a monotonically increasing column vector.
Y must be a column vector or matrix with length(x) rows.
xi must be a column vector

interp1q returns NaN for any values of xi that lie outside the coordinates in x. If Y is a matrix, then the interpolation is performed for each column of Y, in which case yi is length(xi)-by-size(Y,2).

Example

Generate a coarse sine curve and interpolate over a finer abscissa.

x = (0:10)'; 
y = sin(x); 
xi = (0:.25:10)'; 
yi = interp1q(x,y,xi); 
plot(x,y,'o',xi,yi)
