Abstract

Embodiments relate to systems and methods for validating interpolation results using Monte Carlo simulations on interpolated data inputs. A database can store sets of operational data, such as financial, medical, climate or other information. For given data, a portion of the input data can be known or predetermined, while for a second portion can be unknown and subject to interpolation. The interpolation engine can generate a conformal interpolation function and interpolated input sets that map to a set of target output data. In aspects, in order to test the interpolated input data, the operator can initiate a Monte Carlo or other variational analysis using access a validation dialog. The Monte Carlo process can apply randomized perturbations to the values of the interpolated input variables, and track the results of that perturbation on the other interpolated inputs. A set of validation rules can be applied to those randomized results, to determine whether the remaining interpolated variables remain in conformance with expected ranges or values or demonstrate anomalous responses.
