Hi,

I am trying to do some interpolation of timeseries data (24 hours) over different months but my timeseries are not continous.
Here is an example of the timeseries:
A= [2007	11	19	0		
     2007	11	19	23		
     2008	3	15	0];

I have the data for November 2007 with hourly data, then I have data for March 2008 with hourly data. How do I interpolate between the hourly monthly data to make it hourly data between November 2007 to March 2008?

Thank you

There is probably another (better/easier) way using cells but this is one way:

-Calculate what each day is in relation to the first hour of the first day being zero.
-Then convert each full date/time (year, month, day,hour) to the hours past the first time, put these all in a vector.
-You now have a vector with all the times for which you have data.
-Run interp1 on this vector.

There is probably a file on the FEX to help with getting day of year.

%  Convert your times to Matlab days:
t=3Ddatenum(A(:,1),A(:,2),A(,3),A(:,4),0,0);
%  Generate the new times at hourly intervals
tt=3D[t(1):1/24:t(end)]';
%  Interpolate
yy=3Dinterp1(t,y,tt);
