1 <h2>Description</h2>
2 <p>
3 Gaps in data can be filled with <i>interpolated</i> data if desired. LTPDA <a href="matlab:doc('ao/gapfilling')"><tt>gapfilling</tt></a> joins two AOs
4 by means of a segment of <i>synthetic</i> data. This segment is calculated from the two input AOs. Two different
5 methods are possible to fill the gap in the data: <tt>linear</tt> and <tt>spline</tt>. The former fills the data
6 by means of a linear interpolation whereas the latter uses a smoother curve ---see examples below.
7 <br>

9 <h2>Syntax</h2>
10 </p>
11 <div class="fragment"><pre>
12 <br>
13 b = gapfilling(a1, a2, pl)
14 </pre>
15 </div>
16 <p>
17 where <tt>a1</tt> and <tt>a2</tt> are the two segments to join.
18 </p>
19 <h2>Parameters</h2>
20 The following parameters apply for this method:
21 <ul>
22 <li><tt>'method'</tt> - method used to interpolate missing data (see below for details)
23 <ul>
24 <li> <tt>'linear'</tt> (default option) </li>
25 <li> <tt>'spline'</tt> </li>
26 </ul>
27 <li><tt>'addnoise'</tt> - with this option <i>noise</i> can be
28 added to the interpolated data.
29 This noise is defined as a <br>
30 random variable with
31 zero mean and variance equal to the high-frequency
32 noise of the input AO. </li>
33
34 </ul>

59 <b>Spline :</b> a third order interpolation is used in this case

69 The parameters <tt>a</tt>, <tt>b</tt>, <tt>c</tt> and <tt>d</tt> are calculated
70 by solving next system of equations:
