“…Earlier, problem solving extrapolation of random processes was based on the use of Lagrange interpolation polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials, etc. When predicting self-similar traffic, we use the extrapolation method based on the spline-function, since [14]: 1) splines are more resistant to local perturbations, that is, the behavior of the spline in the neighborhood of the point does not affect the spline behavior as a whole, as, for example, this occurs in polynomial interpolation; and 2) good convergence of spline-interpolation as opposed to polynomial interpolation. In particular, splineinterpolation is an indisputable priority for functions with irregular smoothness properties (an example of which self-similar traffic serves).…”
