for i in 0..3 {
    for j in 0..3 {
        grid_values[[i, j]] = x[i].powi(2) + y[j].powi(2);
    }
}

// Create interpolator
let interp = make_interp_nd(
    &[x, y],
    &grid_values.view(),

let result = interp.predict(&test_points.view()).unwrap();

println!("Fast Kriging predictions: {:?}", result.values);

```

## 🔥 Advanced Features

### High-Performance SIMD B-Splines

```rust
use ndarray::array;
use scirs2_interpolate::simd_bspline::SIMDBSpline;

// Enable SIMD acceleration for B-spline evaluation (requires "simd" feature)
#[cfg(feature = "simd")]
{
    let x = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0];
    let y = array![0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 9.0, 16.0, 25.0];
    
    // SIMD-accelerated B-spline provides 2-4x speedup
    let spline = SIMDBSpline::new(&x.view(), &y.view(), 3).unwrap();
    
    // Vectorized evaluation at multiple points
    let x_eval = array![1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5];
    let results = spline.evaluate_batch(&x_eval.view()).unwrap();
    println!("SIMD B-spline results: {:?}", results);
}
```

### Akima Spline (Robust to Outliers)

```rust
use ndarray::array;
use scirs2_interpolate::{AkimaSpline, make_akima_spline};

// Data with an outlier at x=3
let x = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0];
let y = array![0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 20.0, 16.0, 25.0];

// Create Akima spline which handles outliers better than cubic spline
let spline = make_akima_spline(&x.view(), &y.view()).unwrap();

// Evaluate at some test points
for x_val in [1.5, 2.5, 3.5, 4.5].iter() {
    println!("Akima spline at x={}: {}", x_val, spline.evaluate(*x_val).unwrap());
}
```

### PCHIP Interpolation (Shape Preserving)

```rust
use ndarray::array;
use scirs2_interpolate::{pchip_interpolate, PchipInterpolator};

// Monotonically increasing data
let x = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0];
let y = array![0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 9.0, 16.0];

// Using the convenience function
let x_new = array![0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5];
let y_interp = pchip_interpolate(&x.view(), &y.view(), &x_new.view()).unwrap();
println!("PCHIP interpolated values: {:?}", y_interp);

// Or create an interpolator object for more control
let interp = PchipInterpolator::new(&x.view(), &y.view()).unwrap();
let y_at_point = interp.evaluate(2.5).unwrap();
println!("PCHIP value at x=2.5: {}", y_at_point);

// PCHIP preserves monotonicity of the data, unlike cubic spline which may introduce oscillations
```

### Tensor Product Interpolation

```rust
use ndarray::{array, Array2};
use scirs2_interpolate::{tensor_product_interpolate, InterpolationMethod};

// Create coordinates for each dimension
let x = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0];
let y = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0];

// Create values on the grid (z = sin(x) * cos(y))
let mut values = ndarray::ArrayD::zeros(vec![5, 4]);
for i in 0..5 {
    for j in 0..4 {
        values[[i, j]] = (x[i]).sin() * (y[j]).cos();
    }
}

// Points to interpolate
let points = Array2::from_shape_vec((2, 2), vec![
    2.5, 1.5,
    1.5, 2.5
]).unwrap();

// Interpolate using tensor product method
let results = tensor_product_interpolate(
    &[x, y],
    &values,
    &points.view(),
    InterpolationMethod::Linear
).unwrap();

println!("Tensor product interpolation results: {:?}", results);
```

### Error Estimation and Differentiation

```rust
use ndarray::array;
use scirs2_interpolate::{utils, interp1d::linear_interpolate};

// Create sample data
let x = array![0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0];
let y = array![0.0, 1.0, 4.0, 9.0, 16.0];

// Estimate error of linear interpolation
let error = utils::error_estimate(&x.view(), &y.view(), linear_interpolate).unwrap();
println!("Linear interpolation error estimate: {}", error);

// Create a function that evaluates the interpolation
let eval_fn = |x_val| {
    linear_interpolate(&x.view(), &y.view(), &array![x_val].view())
        .map(|arr| arr[0])
};

// Compute the derivative at x=2.5
let derivative = utils::differentiate(2.5, 0.001, eval_fn).unwrap();
println!("Numerical derivative at x=2.5: {}", derivative);

// Compute the integral from x=1 to x=3
let integral = utils::integrate(1.0, 3.0, 100, eval_fn).unwrap();
println!("Numerical integral from x=1 to x=3: {}", integral);
```

## Error Handling

The module uses the `InterpolateResult` and `InterpolateError` types for error handling:

```rust
pub enum InterpolateError {
    /// Computation error (generic error)
    ComputationError(String),

    /// Domain error (input outside valid domain)
    DomainError(String),

    /// Value error (invalid value)
    ValueError(String),

    /// Not implemented error
    NotImplementedError(String),
}

pub type InterpolateResult<T> = Result<T, InterpolateError>;
```
