Extrapolation is often required when interpolation techniques cannot be used while mapping information from one dataset to a grid. Extrapolation methods vary, yielding different results both in quality and in performance. This article proposes a couple of simple extrapolation techniques based that use all the information available to extrapolate. The techniques inspire from the weighted average principle.

Suppose you have a discrete dataset 
, with coordinates 
on a normed space, and want to map the dataset to another dataset, 
, with a new set of coordinates 
. The operation is performed by constructing mapping coefficients 
, also called "weights", and by performing a linear combination of the elements of with the weights, , to compute each element of .
