What I prefer to do whenever possible is to interpolate from the underlying function. If by *geometric progression* you are referring to a polynomial of form:
y = a0 + a1(x) + a2(x^2 + a3(x^3) ...
Then you could fit the data to the polynomial, and then use polyval to evaluate it at the needed values of x.
If you have no idea of the for f(x) takes, then dpb is right. The method you use with interp1 is irrelevant.
