abstract = "The analysis of dynamic systems is a topic of great interest in the basic sciences since
it allows direct inference of the behavior of different systems. The study of physical phenomena
provides large databases that, if recorded at regular time intervals, constitute time series.
However, time series of geophysical data in many cases present missing data and their estimation
requires the application of valid methods that allow estimating reliable information to complete
the series since some analysis methods require these series to be complete. Two methods are
used in this article to estimate the missing values of the precipitation series in the city of San
José de Cúcuta, Colombia, the first one consists of considering the univariate data series and
applying an adjustment of the sequential conditional expectation method of forecasting with
restrictions, the second one refers to analyze the data series of a nearby station and through
multivariate methods establish the cointegration between the series, and then use this as a basis
for estimating the missing data in the analysis series. The two methods are recursive, a first
estimation of the model is made ignoring the missing data, an initial estimation of the missing
data is made, then a new estimation of the model parameters and a new estimation of the missing
data is made, the algorithm continues running with the new values replacing the values estimated
in the previous phase until the difference of the estimated values between successive iterations
is less than a value fixed beforehand. Finally, a comparison is made between the estimates made
by the two methods.",
