May 24, 2012 at 2:26 comment added László @Emre: What would you suggest if the curve does not need to go through the points?
May 23, 2012 at 19:08 comment added Emre Does it really need to go through the points or are they noisy estimates?

May 23, 2012 at 1:11 comment added azdahak Here is something from Stan Wagon.
May 23, 2012 at 0:52 comment added azdahak No, that is just normal cubic spline interpolation. The method in the wikipedia article will have to be implemented since I don't believe Interpolation[] has this option.
May 23, 2012 at 0:49 comment added László @azdahak: Sounds about right. But to be clear: Interpolation[..., InterpolationOrder -> 3, Method -> "Hermite"] is not doing this.
May 23, 2012 at 0:39 comment added azdahak I think monotone cubic spline interpolation will do the trick.

commented about the list in the example
May 22, 2012 at 22:41 comment added László Sure, I will make an edit about this, thanks.
May 22, 2012 at 22:40 comment added Vitaliy Kaurov Your last point seems like an outlier. This are mutual neighbor divisions of horizontal coordinate: {ComplexInfinity, 2., 1.5, 1.33333, 1.25, 1.2, 1.33333, 1.25, 1.5, 1.33333, 2., 2.5, 2., 1.5, 1.33333, 2.5, 2., 1000.} They all seem comparable, besides the last point.
May 22, 2012 at 22:23 comment added László FWIW: This is the US income distribution. There are some guesses what might be a nice analytical form, like a mixture of "something" and a Pareto tail, but I hoped I could avoid that.
May 22, 2012 at 22:22 comment added László No, I did not want to go down that route. Then I know I could Fit the functional form on this list.
May 22, 2012 at 22:17 comment added Vitaliy Kaurov Do you have an analytic model or guess for that function?
