Résumé

The object of this study is to put forward uncertainty modeling associated with missing time series data imputation in a predictive context. We propose three imputation methods associated with uncertainty modeling. These methods are evaluated on a COVID-19 dataset out of which some values have been randomly removed. The dataset contains the numbers of daily COVID-19 confirmed diagnoses (“new cases”) and daily deaths (“new deaths”) recorded since the start of the pandemic up to July 2021. The considered task is to predict the number of new deaths 7 days in advance. The more values are missing, the higher the imputation impact is on the predictive performances. The Evidential K -Nearest Neighbors (E K NN) algorithm is used for its ability to take into account labels uncertainty. Experiments are provided to measure the benefits of the label uncertainty models. Results show the positive impact of uncertainty models on imputation performances, especially in a noisy context where the number of missing values is high.
