This study introduces a novel uncertainty rule method for filling missing values in dynamic databases, achieving 100% completion and over 90% success rates in home care systems. This adaptive approach enhances data mining by improving data quality for knowledge discovery.

Area of Science:

  • Data Mining
  • Knowledge Discovery
  • Database Management

Background:

  • Existing adaptive algorithms struggle with missing values and dynamic data common in medicine.
  • There is a need for robust methods to handle data imperfections in real-time systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an uncertainty rule method for filling missing values in dynamic databases.
  • To develop an adaptive threshold approach for handling newly added records with missing data.
  • To enhance data mining in applications like home care systems.

Main Methods:

  • Introduced the FiMV (Filling Missing Values) method based on uncertainty rules.
  • Utilized the AURG (Adaptive Uncertainty Rule Generation) algorithm for rule extraction.
  • Implemented a novel approach for recovering missing values in continuously updated databases without predefined thresholds.

Main Results:

  • Applied FiMV to a home care monitoring system database.
  • Simulated missing values (5-20%) and achieved 100% completion rates with over 90% success.
  • Outperformed traditional methods that ignore missing values or require fixed thresholds.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed FiMV method is effective for the data-cleaning phase of Knowledge Discovery.
  • This approach significantly improves the quality of mined information from dynamic datasets.
  • The method is particularly suitable for real-world applications with evolving data, such as home care.
