// If the first/last samples are close to the boundaries of the range,
// extrapolate the result. This is as we expect that another sample
// will exist given the spacing between samples we've seen thus far,
// with an allowance for noise.
// If samples are close enough to the (lower or upper) boundary of the
// range, we extrapolate the rate all the way to the boundary in
// question. "Close enough" is defined as "up to 10% more than the
// average duration between samples within the range", see
// extrapolationThreshold below. Essentially, we are assuming a more or
// less regular spacing between samples, and if we don't see a sample
// where we would expect one, we assume the series does not cover the
// whole range, but starts and/or ends within the range. We still
// extrapolate the rate in this case, but not all the way to the
// boundary, but only by half of the average duration between samples
// (which is our guess for where the series actually starts or ends).
