Waveform Distortion Data for Bivariate Interpolation

DATA DESCRIPTION:

These data sets, named akima.x, akima.y, and akima.z, collectively represent a smooth, distorted waveform in three dimensions. The data were taken from a study of waveform distortion in electronic circuits, described the second reference below.

ARGUMENTS:

akima.x, akima.y, akima.z
represent a smooth surface of z values at selected points irregularly distributed in the x-y plane.
