I am trying to carry forward value from the previous group to the next group. I tried to solve it using `rleid` but that could not get the desired result.

```
df <- data.frame(signal = c(1,1,5,5,5,2,3,3,3,4,4,5,5,5,5,6,7,7,8,9,9,9,10), 
                 desired_outcome = c(NA, NA, 1, 1, 1, 5, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4,4,4,5,6,6,7,8,8,8,9))

# outcome column has the expected result -
   signal desired_outcome
1       1              NA
2       1              NA
3       5               1
4       5               1
5       5               1
6       2               5
7       3               2
8       3               2
9       3               2
10      4               3
11      4               3
12      5               4
13      5               4
14      5               4
15      5               4
16      6               5
17      7               6
18      7               6
19      8               7
20      9               8
21      9               8
22      9               8
23     10               9
