A Transfer Learning for Missing Value Imputation and Its Relationship with Prediction Performance in Time Series Data

초록/요약

Missing values incur the lack of data availability and/or inaccurate predictions in the problem of time series prediction. We consider a transfer learning method for missing data imputation in time series data and test two research hypothesis; the first hypothesis is that the high similarity between two time series, one containing missing values and the other used for transfer learning, improves the imputation performance. Second, a better imputation performance results in a better prediction accuracy. Empirical analysis reveals that the transfer learning with high similarity in two time series improves the imputation performance. As known in the literature, we found a positive correlation between imputation performance and prediction accuracy. However, the correlation between imputation performance and prediction accuracy becomes insignificant when the time series has low volatility and a short length of consecutive missing data. It means that a simple method for missing data imputation is preferred to an expensive but effective method such as transfer learning if the time series is highly stable and predictable.
