• Abstract: Time series are all around in real-world applications. However, unexpected accidents for example broken sensors or missing of the signals will cause missing values in time series, making the data hard to be utilized. It then does harm to the downstream applications such as traditional classification or regression, sequential data integration and forecasting tasks, thus raising the demand for data imputation. Currently, time series data imputation is a well-studied problem with different categories of methods. However, these works rarely take the temporal relations among the observations and treat the time series as normal structured data, losing the information from the time data. In recent, deep learning models have raised great attention. Time series methods based on deep learning have made progress with the usage of models like RNN, since it captures time information from data. In this paper, we mainly focus on time series imputation technique with deep learning methods, which recently made progress in this field. We will review and discuss their model architectures, their pros and cons as well as their effects to show the development of the time series imputation methods.

  Missing values in time series data occur often and present obstacles to successful analysis, thus they need to be filled with alternative values, a process called imputation. Although various approaches have been attempted for robust imputation of time series data, even the most advanced methods still face challenges. I developed tsDataWig (time-series DataWig) by modifying DataWig, a neural network-based method that possesses the capacity to process large datasets. Unlike the original DataWig, tsDataWig can directly handle values of time variables and impute missing values in complex time

  In finance, imputation of missing returns may be applied prior to training a portfolio optimization model. There is an inherent trade-off between the look-ahead-bias of using the full data set for imputation and the larger variance in the imputation from using only the training data. We propose a Bayesian posterior consensus distribution which optimally controls the variance and look-ahead-bias trade-off in the imputation.
