-/**
- * Quite often in biological sciences we are facing a problem of missing data. We may have for instance a number of sequences of observations made in between times A and B in a discrete
- * collection of times A = t1, t2,...,tn = B. But quite typically some of the observations may be missing. Then quite often it is hard to estimate the values in the missing times.
- * The procedure below assumes that we compute some topological descriptor of the observations we are given. Most typically this will be some type of persistence homology representation.
- * The the values in the missing points are filled in by linear interpolation and extrapolation. The procedure below have minimal requirements: it assumes that we have two elements that
- * filled in. The rest will be filled in by using them.
- * The fill-in process is done based on the idea of linear approximation. Let us assume that we have two positions A and B which are filled in with proper objects of a type Representation_of_topology.
- * Any intermediate time step can be interpolated by taking a linear combination t*A + (1-t)*B, where t \in [0,1].
- * If the missing data are located at the beginning of at the end of vector of Representation_of_topology, then we use the following extrapolation scheme:
- * First we make sure that there are no missing data except at the very beginning and at the very end of a vector of data. Then, we pick two constitutive closest filled-in data A and B and we extrapolate
- * by using a formula: t*A-(t-1)*B, where t is a natural number > 1.
- * Note that both vector of data and the vector is_the_position_filled_in are modified by this procedure. Upon successful termination of the procedure, the vector is_the_position_filled_in has only 'true' entries,
- * and the vector data do not have missing data.
