To me it seems what you are looking for is a sophisticated
interpolation/extrapolation method. In order to do a meaningful
inter-/extrapolation one has to make some assumptions about the continuous
function underlying the irregular samples one has at hand. Which
assumptions are you willing to make, e.g. bandlimitedness?
