1. 
   Extrapolation
   Extrapolation is when the value of a variable is estimated at times which have not yet been observed. This estimate may be reasonably reliable for short times into the future, but for longer times, the estimate is liable to become less accurate.

   Extrapolation
   In mathematics, `extrapolation` is the process of constructing new data points outside a discrete set of known data points. It is similar to the process of interpolation, which constructs new points between known points, but its results are often less meaningful, and are subject to greater uncertainty.

   extrapolation
   (ek-strap″o-la´shәn) inference of one or more unknown values on the basis of that which is known or has been observed; usually applied to estimation beyond the upper and lower ranges of observed data as opposed to interpolation between data points.

   Extrapolation
   The idea of estimating a value by extending information at hand outside its immediate range. In LP, an extrapolation estimate of the optimal objective value uses dual price (y) as a slope: z^(b + h) = z(b) + yh. For a sequence {x^k}, an extrapolation is an estimate of a limit point.
