I have oil pressure data as shown in the plot attached. The data is 10 Hz (speed data points are collected) but the signal is only updated at 1Hz. This leads to data that looks like a series of steps. I know that when there is a step change in the data, that instantaneous data point is valid. The following 9 data points are frozen at the last value, but in reality the pressure is continuing to increase.
I would like to estimate the pressure data between the corners of these steps. I could use diff to identify the data points where the change in value occurs, then interpolate 9 data points between the corners, but that seems like a long way to go. A moving average will smooth the steps out, but it bisects through the middle of the steps. The desired output data is also shown in the below image.
