Abstract Background A complete dataset is essential for biomedical implementation. Due to the limitation of objective or subjective factors, missing data often occurs, which exerts uncertainty in the subsequent data processing. Commonly used methods of interpolation are interpolating substitute values that keep minimum error. Some applications of statistics are usually used for handling this problem. Methods We are trying to find a higher performance interpolation method compared with the usual statistic methods, by using artificial intelligence which is in full swing today. The prediction and classification of backpropagation neural network are used in this paper, describes a missing data interpolation method to propose the interpolation model that mines association rules in the data. In the experiment, depending on a multi-layer network structure, the model is trained and tested by sample data, constantly revises network weights and thresholds. The error function decreases along the negative gradient direction and approaches the expected real output. The model is validated on the breast cancer dataset, and we select real samples from the data set for validation, moreover, add four traditional methods as a control group. Results The proposed method has great performance improvement in the interpolation of missing data. Experimental results show that the interpolation accuracy of our proposed method (84%) is higher than four traditional methods (1.33%, 74.67%, 73.33%, 77.33%) as mentioned in this paper, BPNN stays low in MSE evaluation. Finally, we analyze the performance of various methods in processing missing data. Conclusions The study in this paper has estimated missing data with high accuracy as much as possible to reduce the negative impact in the diagnosis of real life. At the same time, it can also assist in missing data processing in the biomedical field.
