Bayesian Reconstruction of Missing Observations
  We focus on an interpolation method referred to Bayesian reconstruction in this paper. Whereas in standard interpolation methods missing data are interpolated deterministically, in Bayesian reconstruction, missing data are interpolated probabilistically using a Bayesian treatment. In this paper, we address the framework of Bayesian reconstruction and its application to the traffic data reconstruction problem in the field of traffic engineering. In the latter part of this paper, we describe the evaluation of the statistical performance of our Bayesian traffic reconstruction model using a statistical mechanical approach and clarify its statistical behavior.
