Abstract
An alternative method for statistical interpolation is formalized. A new theorem is proved,
providing theoretical basis for optimizing statistical accuracy in successively conditioned
rendering applications. The theorem is empirically validated by two simulations, each
comparing two different statistical interpolators. The interpolators are used to model high-
resolution phase fluctuations over finite apertures. The theorem correctly predicts which
interpolator is more optimal, based on empirical trials with greater than
