Thanks, I meant if there are missing data at the beginning and end of a
dataframe, how to interpolate according to available data?

For example, the A column has missing values at the beginning and end, how
to interpolate linearly between 10 and 12 for the missing values?

df <- data.frame(A=c(NA, NA,10,11,12, NA),B=c(5,5,4,3,4,5),C=c(3.3,4,3,1.5,
2.2,4),time=as.Date(c("1990-01-01","1990-02-
07","1990-02-14","1990-02-28","1990-03-01","1990-03-20")))
