1Reliability

If multiple imputation methods are used to generate complete training datasets, then the accuracy and reliability of inference models are improved, but the complexity of the data processing system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of inference modelsVSAvoidcomplexity of data processing system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the data completion process by applying multiple different imputation methods (e.g., mean imputation, regression imputation, iterative imputation) to generate multiple imputed datasets separately. Each imputation method processes the incomplete dataset independently, creating distinct imputed versions that can be evaluated and combined. This segmentation allows the system to improve model reliability through diverse imputation approaches while managing complexity by organizing the process into discrete, manageable segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple imputed datasets generated by different imputation methods into a single comprehensive training dataset. By combining the results from multiple imputation approaches, the system leverages the strengths of each method to create a more robust and reliable training dataset. This merging process improves inference model reliability by incorporating diverse imputation perspectives while the automated merging mechanism helps manage system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Manufacturing precision

If multiple imputation methods and Bayesian modeling are applied to complete incomplete datasets, then the quality of training data is improved, but the computational resources and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality of training dataVSAvoidtime for data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting appropriate imputation methods and configuring the imputation process before actual data imputation begins. The system pre-configures multiple imputation methods, sets up Bayesian modeling parameters, and prepares the computational framework in advance. This preliminary setup enables the subsequent imputation and combination processes to execute more efficiently, reducing the overall time required while maintaining high training data quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by adjusting imputation method parameters and Bayesian modeling parameters to optimize the balance between data quality and processing time. The system can modify parameters such as the number of imputation iterations, confidence level thresholds, and model complexity settings. By dynamically adjusting these parameters, the system achieves high training data quality while managing computational resource consumption and processing time.
