Imputations for Missing Data on Our Sensor.

Sensor data can be handled as sequential data: ie a timeseries.

The main issue handling timeseries is the missing observations or missing data. We have missing observations due to power outages, software updates or gathering system downtime.

We can create a difference between the times of observations to find the missing observations, as we know the sensor creates a new record every 3 seconds.

Then, if there's a missing observation, therefore the difference should be larger than those 3 seconds.

Missing Data

The differences are mainly due to the following reasons:

Missing Data Visualitzations

Another options is to impute the missing data.
