The extrapolation tool is primarily a statistical and mathematical tool.
-
Statistical: Extrapolation involves using statistical data to predict future values based on existing trends. It often relies on statistical methods and models to analyze data and make inferences.
-
Mathematical: The process also involves mathematical techniques, such as regression analysis, to extend a known set of values or facts to an unknown area, hence making estimates or predictions.
While it can have logical and theoretical aspects in its application, its primary classification lies within statistics and mathematics.
