Abstract

As a direct reference tool to reflect the operational status and development level of national industry, industrial statistics hold significant value for numerous systematic studies. Nevertheless, it is crucial to recognize that the quality of these statistics can be compromised by the common occurrence of missing value. This issue poses a substantial challenge for analyzing and utilizing industrial statistics, impeding progress in tasks reliant upon them. Given the severity of the missing value problem in industrial statistical databases and the limitations of existing literatures on missing value imputation in terms of research objects and modeling approaches, this paper proposes a novel missing value imputation modeling approach for single-indicator panels of industrial statistics based on the idea of data-characteristic-driven (DCD). Accordingly, taking the inter-provincial “monthly power generation” data from China as an example, the imputation model was constructed and its validity was tested under different imputed objects (Jiangsu and Jilin), different missing types (continuous and discrete), and different missing rates (5%, 10% and 20%) respectively. The results indicate that the proposed DCD modeling approach in this paper exhibits excellent efficacy. The imputation model, constructed based on the data characteristic of the imputed object, demonstrates clear advantages in handling missing value with different missing types and rates. This is evident in its superior consideration of numerical accuracy, directional accuracy, and imputation stability, resulting in an outstanding comprehensive imputation effect.
