Missing Values Interpolation in PurpleAir Sensor Data based on a Correlation with Neighboring Locations using KNIME Analytics Platform

Abstract

Missing values handling in any collected data is one of the first issues that must be resolved to be able to use that data. This paper presents an approach used for missing values interpolation in PurpleAir particle pollution sensor data, based on a correlation of the measurements from the observed locations with the measurements from its neighboring locations, using KNIME Analytics Platform. Results of our experiments with data from five locations in Bosnia & Herzegovina, presented in this paper, show that this approach, which is relatively simple to implement, gives good results. All modeling and experiments were conducted using KNIME Analytics Platform.
