graphing data for a systems dynamic research and our research provided data that didn’t include weekends… just the behavior on weekdays, how can we adjust the data to fill in missing information we need to complete the graph? weekends should be considered too, so we cant take it out of the graph..
If it’s a natural process, take moving average.
E.g. Saturday is average of Thu, Fri and Mon, and Sun is average of Fri, Mon, Tue.
If there is any way that humans are involved in determining your data, you really cannot anything, as human activity patters are very different on weekends – people eat, sleep, entertain and work in a completely different way.
