What I would suggest is that it only produces a plot line over the range  
where the data is complete.

If the sample is large enough for this to be negligable , it won't notice  
anyway.

If it is significant in relation to the data sample, the plot line will  
stop at the point where it is no longer mathematically valid. That would  
seem to be the correct thing to do.

I see little justification for extending it beyond that range.


It must be a trivial change to make if you accept the principal.
