Continuous (Continuous)

A continuous time series indicates the observation result is the value of a property at the indicated instant in time. The points are essentially connected and interpolation may occur between points in order to estimate the value of the property between points. The appropriate time spacing between successive points to minimise interpolation errors is related to rate of change (wrt time) of the property.
