Missing values in time series can be treated as unknown parameters and estimated by maximum likelihood or as random variables and predicted by the conditional expectation of the unknown values given the data. The purpose of this study is to impute missing values which are regarded as the maximum likelihood estimator and random variable in incomplete data and to compare with two methods using ARMA and STAR model. For illustration, the Mumps data reported from the national capital region monthly over the years 2001~2009 are used, and estimate precision of missing values and forecast precision of future data are compared with two methods.

Missing continuous covariates are pervasive in the use of generalized linear models for medical data. Multiple imputation is the most common and easy-to-do method of dealing with missing covariate data. However, there are always serious warnings in using this method. There should be concern to make imputed values more proper. In this paper, proper imputation from posterior predictive distribution is developed for implementing with arbitrary priors. We use empirical distribution of the posterior for approximating the posterior predictive distribution, to sample from it. This method is preferable in comparison with a presented imputation method of us which uses a full model to impute missing values using available software. The proposed methods are implemented on glucocorticoid data.

Data mining is an interest area in all field around us not in any specific areas, which could be used applications in a number of areas heavily. In other words, it is used in the decision-making process, data and correlation analysis in hidden relations, for finding the actionable information and prediction. But some of the data sets contains many missing values in the variables and do not exist a large number of records in the data set. In this paper, missing values are handled in accordance with the model tree algorithm. Cholesterol value is applied for predicting. For the performance analysis, experiments are approached for each treatment. Through this, efficient alternative is presented to apply the missing data.

Collaborative filtering is one of the methodologies that are most widely used for recommendation system. It is based on a data matrix of each customer's preferences of products. There could be a lot of missing values in such preference data matrix. This incomplete data is one of the reasons to deteriorate the accuracy of recommendation system. There are several treatments to deal with the incomplete data problem such as case deletion and single imputation. Those approaches are simple and easy to implement but they may provide biased results. Multiple imputation method imputes m values for each missing value. It overcomes flaws of single imputation approaches through considering the uncertainty of missing values. The objective of this paper is to suggest multiple imputation-based collaborative filtering approach for recommendation system to improve the accuracy in prediction performance. The experimental works show that the proposed approach provides better performance than the traditional Collaborative filtering approach, especially in case that there are a lot of missing values in dataset used for recommendation system.

Canonical correlation biplot is a useful biplot for giving a graphical description of the data matrix which consists of the association between two sets of variables, for detecting patterns and displaying results found by more formal methods of analysis. Nevertheless, when some values are missing in data, most biplots are not directly applicable. To solve this problem, we estimate the missing data using the median, mean, EM algorithm and MCMC imputation methods according to missing rates. Even though we estimate the missing values of biplot of incomplete data, we have different shapes of biplots according to the imputation methods and missing rates. Therefore we use a RMS(root mean square) which was proposed by Shin et al. (2007) and PS(procrustes statistic) for measuring and comparing the shape variability between the original biplots and the estimated biplots.

In this paper, wc propose a now missing imputation method for minimizing loss of information linkage disequilibrium-based and haplotype-based imputation method, which estimate missing values of the data based on the specificity of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism(SNP) genotype data. Method for imputing data is needed to minimize the loss of information caused by experimental missing data. In general, missing imputation of biological data has used major allele imputation method. but this approach is not optima]. 1'his method has high error rates of missing values estimation since the characteristics of the genotype data are not considered not take into consideration the specific structure of the data. In this paper, we show the results of the comparative evaluation of our model methods and major imputation method for the estimation of missing values.

Nonresponse and missing values are caused by sample dropouts and avoidance of answers to surveys. In this case, problems with the possibility of information loss and biased reasoning arise, and a replacement of missing values with appropriate values is required. In this paper, as an alternative to missing values imputation, we compare several replacement methods, which use mean, linear regression, random forest, K-nearest neighbor, autoencoder and denoising autoencoder based on deep learning. These methods of imputing missing values are explained, and each method is compared by using continuous simulation data and real data. The comparison results confirm that in most cases, the performance of the random forest imputation method and the denoising autoencoder imputation method are better than the others.

This study examines the sampling bias that may have resulted from the large number of missing observations. Despite well-designed and reliable sampling procedures, the observed sample values in DSFH(Demographic Survey on Changes in Family and Household Structure, Japan) included many missing observations. The head administerd survey method of DSFH resulted in a large number of missing observations regarding characteristics of elderly non-head parents and their children. In addition, the response probability of a particular item in DSFH significantly differs by characteristics of elderly parents and their children. Furthermore, missing observations of many items occurred simultaneously. This complex pattern of missing observations critically limits the ability to produce an unbiased analysis. First, the large number of missing observations is likely to cause a misleading estimate of the standard error. Even worse, the possible dependency of missing observations on their latent values is likely to produce biased estimates of covariates. Two models are employed to solve the possible inference biases. First, EM algorithm is used to infer the missing values based on the knowledge of the association between the observed values and other covariates. Second, a selection model was employed given the suspicion that the probability of missing observations of proximity depends on its unobserved outcome.

When the loss of samples appears under repeated surveys, new samples can often replace missing values. Estimators using response probability can be considered under repeated surveys on two occasions where new samples are selected instead of missing data on the second occasion. We propose a new estimator that uses both respondents and new samples on the second occasion. It is considered for the simulation setting that missing values can happen at the second occasion and are replaced by new samples. We can see that the proposed estimator is more efficient than that using a weighting adjustment method for respondents at the second occasion.

Reject inference in credit scoring is a statistical approach to adjust for nonrandom sample bias due to rejected applicants. Function estimation approaches are based on the assumption that rejected applicants are not necessary to be included in the estimation, when the missing data mechanism is missing at random. On the other hand, the density estimation approach by using mixture models indicates that reject inference should include rejected applicants in the model. When mixture models are chosen for reject inference, it is often assumed that data follow a normal distribution. If data include missing values, an application of the normal mixture model to fully observed cases may cause another sample bias due to missing values. We extend reject inference by a multivariate normal mixture model to handle incomplete characteristic variables. A simulation study shows that inclusion of incomplete characteristic variables outperforms the function estimation approaches.
