Polynomial used in Interpolation

Posted 11 years ago
Dear friends,

How could I get the polynomial used in the Interpolation command? What is, for example, the polynomial used in the following interpolation:
data = Table[{i, RandomReal[i]}, {i, 1, 10}];
f = Interpolation[data];

What was the order used in the "f = Interpolation[ data]"?
Thanks,
Ana

The default method is "Hermite"
See how-does-interpolation-really-work
If you want to force a polynomial to be used, you can use the Fit command. (but not a good idea to use polynominal to fitĀ  many points, else too much oscillation in between points, see Runge's phenomenon) that is why Spline or Hermite would be better methods.
