Abstract
The techniques described herein relate to a method that involves identifying a set of network elements with less than a specified percentage of missing data, removing a percentage of data to create a test data set for each network element, applying various data fill methods to the test data set to generate filled data sets, calculating the percentage of missing data successfully filled and the error between the filled data and the removed data for each data fill method, analyzing the relationships between the percentage of missing data, the percentage of successfully filled data, and the error to generate error curves for each data fill method, and selecting one or more data fill methods to apply to missing data in a network element based on the corresponding error curves.
