[R] "predict" values from object of type "list"

[Steve Ryan]

Hi Guys,

I could need some help here. I have a set of 3d points (x,y,v). These
points are not randomly scattered but lie on a surface. This surface can be
taken as a calibration plane for x and y -values. My goal is to quantify
this surface and than predict the v-values for given pairs of x- and
y-coordinates.

This iscode shows how I started to solve this problem. First, I generate
more points between existing points using 3d-splines. That way I
"pre-smooth" my data set. After that I use interp to create even more
points and I end up with an object called "sp" (class "list"). sp is
visualized using surface3d. The surface looks like I wish it to be.

Now, how can I predict a x/y-pair of, say -2, 2 ??
Can somebody help?
Thanks a lot!
