Abstract

In a modern technology generation, big volumes of data are evolved under numerous operations compared to an earlier era. However, collection of data without missing single value, is a great challenge ahead. In practice, there are many solutions suggested to avoid the missing values in time series applications. The existing methods used in imputation and their prediction with time series, varies with applications. The existing methods mostly available for imputation are least squares support vector machine (LSSVM), autoregressive integrated moving average models (ARIMA), Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques, state space models, Kalman filtering and fuzzy model. The extensive experimental application data is used to analyze these methods. In addition, a synthetic set of data can also be used to forecast missing value, which improves performance of imputation methods in time series. In this paper, predominantly used imputation methods have been listed with their fundamental computational information along with their verification on set of data mentioned.
