Thanks, this seems to work.
One last question: I was not able to get these values if I only had my
time variable as regressor. I had to add "const" as a regressor too, in
order to get the values (225 and 6.25). What exactly is const and what
values does it contain (I'm unable to edit this variable)?
"const" is IMHO pretty self-explanatory, namely a constant term, as in
basically all regression packages. Have you ever run a regression before?
Apart from that, you can arbitrarily use any value you like for
"interpolating" your series, if you don't specify any kind of objective
or loss function. Narandra's solution is also arbitrary (which doesn't
mean it's bad).
