径向基函数插值使用一系列基函数，它们在每个采样点对称且居中。径向基函数是一类特殊的函数，其主要特征是它们的响应与中心点的距离单调地减小（或增加）。中心、距离刻度和精确的形状是模型的参数。(Radial Basis Function interpolation with biharmonic, multiquadric, inverse multiquadric, thin plate spline, and Gaussian basis functions for Matlab/Octave.

RBF interpolation uses a series of basis functions that are symmetric and centered at each sampling point. Radial basis functions are a special class of functions with their main feature being that their response decreases (or increases) monotonically with distance from a central point. The center, the distance scale, and the precise shape are parameters of the model.)
