Imputation of missing values in clinical data
BIRKLBAUER, Micha Johannes
Imputation of missing data is a crucial step in data analysis since many statistical methods require complete datasets. In that regard MissForest imputation is a powerful tool that seems to outperform most other imputation approaches. This analysis evaluates how good imputation using MissForest is compared to other methods like imputation by Multivariate Imputation by Chained Equations (MICE), Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBM) or the standard strawman (mean) imputation in a clinical dataset that is used to predict the mortality of patients after heart valve surgery.
Prediction of energy load profiles
Bartoš, Samuel ; Fink, Jiří (advisor) ; Van Leeuwen, Richard (referee)
Prediction of energy load profiles is an important topic in Smart Grid technologies. Accurate forecasts can lead to reduced costs and decreased dependency on commercial power suppliers by adapting to prices on energy market, efficient utilisation of solar and wind energy and sophisticated load scheduling. This thesis compares various statistical and machine learning models and their ability to forecast load profile for an entire day divided into 48 half-hour intervals. Additionally, we examine various preprocessing methods and their influence on the accuracy of the models. We also compare a variety of imputation methods that are designed to reconstruct missing observation commonly present in energy consumption data.
