Abstract
Abstract The imputeTS package specializes on univariate time series imputation. It offers multiple state-of-the-art imputation algorithm implementations along with plotting functions for time series missing data statistics. While imputation in general is a well-known problem and widely covered by R packages, finding packages able to fill missing values in univariate time series is more complicated. The reason for this lies in the fact that most imputation algorithms rely on inter-attribute correlations, while univariate time series imputation instead needs to employ time dependencies. This paper provides an introduction to the imputeTS package and its provided algorithms and tools. Furthermore, it gives a short overview about univariate time series imputation in R.

BRITS: Bidirectional Recurrent Imputation for Time Series

TL;DR: BRITS is a novel method based on recurrent neural networks for missing value imputation in time series data that directly learns the missing values in a bidirectional recurrent dynamical system, without any specific assumption.

Wildfire smoke impacts respiratory health more than fine particles from other sources: observational evidence from Southern California.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that even for similar exposure levels, PM2.5 from wildfire smoke is considerably more dangerous for respiratory health at the population level compared to other sources of emission.

Long-term declines and recovery of meadow area across the world's seagrass bioregions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reconstructed time series of seagrass meadows over time from 175 studies that surveyed 547 sites around the world and found an overall trajectory of decline in all seven bioregions with a global net loss of 5602 km2 (19.1% of surveyed meadow area) occurring since 1880.

Understanding and using time series analyses in addiction research

TL;DR: This paper provides addiction researchers with an overview of many of the methods available and guidance on when and how they should be used, sample size determination, reporting, and interpretation, and the importance of pre-registering hypotheses and analysis plans before the analyses are undertaken.

Amelia II: A Program for Missing Data

TL;DR: The Amelia II package implements a new expectation-maximization with bootstrapping algorithm that works faster, with larger numbers of variables, and is far easier to use, than various Markov chain Monte Carlo approaches, but gives essentially the same answers.
