Particle Swarm Optimization Least Square Support Machine Based Missing Data Imputation Algorithm in Wireless Sensor Network for Nuclear Power Plant’s Environmental Radiation Monitor

Abstract

In wireless sensor network for nuclear power plant’s peripheral environmental radiation monitoring the gamma dose rate data may be missed affected by various factors, which will influence the validity of environmental radiation monitoring. To solve the problem, a missing data imputation algorithm is proposed based on particle swarm optimized least squares support vector machine. This algorithm imputes missing data utilizing node’s previous monitoring data and neighbor node’s current monitoring data jointly. Experimental results using the real radiation monitoring data around a nuclear power plant show that the proposed algorithm can impute the missing gamma dose rate data accurately.
