interpolation

Filling data gaps

Interpolation is inserting something into an existing sequence or text.

In mathematics and computing, it means estimating unknown values between known data points: The software uses interpolation to smooth the curve.

In textual criticism, an interpolation is material added to a document by someone other than the original author—often suspected as a later forgery or gloss.

More generally, to interpolate is to interject remarks into a conversation or narrative: He interpolated a few comments during her presentation.
