Abstract:In the field of data-driven based modeling and optimization, the completeness and the accuracy of data samples are the foundations for further research tasks. Since the byproduct gas system of steel industry is rather complicated and its data-acquisition process might be frequently affected by the unexpected operational factors, the data-missing phenomenon usually occurs, which might lead to the failure of model establishment or inaccurate information discovery. In this study, a data imputation method based on the manufacturing characteristics is proposed for resolving the data-missing problem in steel industry. A novel correlation analysis, named by non-equal-length granules correlation coefficient (NGCC), is reported, and the corresponding model based on Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is established to study the correlation of the similar procedures. To verify the performance of the proposed method, this study considers three typical features of the gas flow data with different missing ratios. The experiment results indicate that it is greatly effective for the missing data imputation of byproduct gas, and exhibits better performance on the accuracy compared to the other methods.
