in reply to Estimating continuous functions
It is a doozy, but it's also a very interesting doozy. There are many, many programs that have been written that will do this. One of the best, imho, is Mathematica. (At least, it was in '93 when I was an aspiring math major.) If you can use it, I'd suggest looking at Math::ematica. (If you don't have it and you're being paid for this work, indicate to your paychecksource that they can shell $ for Mathematica or $$$ for you to replicate it.)
