Since many temporal modelling techniques require regularly spaced data, one common approach is to linearly interpolate the data, and build a model from the interpolated data. However, this process introduces an unquantified risk that the data is over-fitted to the interpolated (and hence more typical) instances. Using one such irregularly-sampled dataset, the Lake Kasumigaura algal dataset, we compare models built on the original sample data, and on the interpolated data, to evaluate the risk of mis-fitting based on the interpolated data.
