How to interpolate a value between two values in an array?

18 views (last 30 days)
Hi,i have an array named sumNy. the content of sumNy gives me Ny and the number of it's cells show me corresponding accelerations. now i have a specified Ny that is between two Ny s in my sumNy array, and i want to obtain it's corresponding acceleration.
i wrote this code but i dont know why it is not working
for i=1:150
if i==1
y=0;
elseif sumNy1(1,i-1)<=(1/475) & sumNy1(1,i)>=(1/475)
y=(((1/475)-sumNy1(1,i))/(sumNy1(1,i-1)-sumNy1(1,i)))*(i-1)+(1-(((1/475)- sumNy1(1,i))/(sumNy1(1,i-1)-sumNy1(1,i))))*(i);
end
end
please help me
Thanks

and by the way, there is two Ny s in my array that the specified Ny (1/475) place between them, so that is not why everytime i run this code it gives me y=0 !

Have you tried interp1?
For example:
t = 0:10; x = sin(t);
tnew = 0:.25:10;
xnew = interp1(t,x,tnew);
plot(t,x,'o',tnew,xnew)

i dont know what to put as a function in interp1 that gives me linear interpolation.
