1. A method of modeling a target system, said method comprising:
- populating a data structure with points, each point comprising at least one target value associated with at least one system parameter value of said target system;
searching said data structure with at least one inquiry parameter value; and
interpolating a return value for said at least one inquiry parameter value based on said points.

Abstract
In a method of modeling a target system, a data structure is populated with points, where each point includes at least one target value associated with at least one system parameter value of the target system. The data structure is searched with at least one inquiry parameter value. A return value is interpolated for at least one inquiry parameter value based on the points.
