curve in the vicinity of the gap, and then fill in the unknown values based
on this function.
Simple interpolation methods do not necessarily work for complex
waveforms, especially when the gap is large (Fig. 2). Unless a pattern can
be determined for the curve, thereby making it possible to derive a math-
ematical function that represents the curve, precise points within the gap
cannot be determined. Even if it appears that a function has been found
to define a complex or irregular curve,interpolation may not work because
the derived function is based on an insufficient sampling of the data.
