Electricity Data Quality Enhancement Strategy Based on Low-Rank Matrix Recovery by Guo Xu, Xinliang Teng, Lei Zhang, Jianjun Xu

“…Addressing common issues such as missing data, sparse noise, and Gaussian noise in electricity consumption data, this paper proposes a multi-norm optimization model based on low-rank matrix theory. Specifically, the truncated nuclear norm is used as an approximation of matrix rank, while the <inline-formula><math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><semantics><msub><mi>L</mi><mn>1</mn></msub></semantics></math></inline-formula>-norm and <i>F</i>-norm are employed to constrain sparse noise and Gaussian noise, respectively. …”
