  I am looking for algorithms for interpolating 2D and 3D randomly
spaced data, preferably with error estimation.  Any pointer is
appreciated.

Information about interpolation of scattered data may be found in
the survey - 

ftp cod.nosc.mil  /pub/grid.ps
ftp cod.nosc.mil  /pub/grid.tex
ftp cod.nosc.mil  /pub/grid.ascii

The comments in this survey are extracted from the book

CONTOURING: A Guide to the Analysis and Display of Spatial Data 
by David F. Watson           ISBN  0 08 040286 0
to be published by Pergamon Press in the last quarter of 1992.

A gridding program that uses natural neighbor interpolation, NNGRIDR,
is available commercially.  Send email to me (Dave Watson) for details 
or if you have any questions.

Look in the Transactions of Mathematical Software, published by the
Association for Computing Machinery.  In the 1985 on range, there
have been quite a large number of papers written on precisely this 
topic.  These papers include code, which can be obtained ftp from
netlib.  I have used some of the algorithms published in TOMS for
this purpose and they have worked great.
