contents Data quality assessment is an essential step that ensures the reliability of the subsequent structural health monitoring (SHM) tasks. This study proposes a prediction deviation-based SHM data quality assessment method using a univariate implicit auto-regressive model, enabling outlier diagnosis and data cleaning. The proposed conditional diffusion model (CDM) augments the standard diffusion model with a conditional embedding module to incorporate temporal context, quartile normalization to mitigate distribution skew, and a Huber loss to enhance robustness against outliers. Within this univariate implicit autoregressive framework, each data point is assigned an outlier probability, quantifying its degree of "outlier-ness", and a global quality evaluation score is computed to characterize the overall dataset quality. Extensive case studies utilizing operational data from real-world structures demonstrate that the proposed framework significantly improves the accuracy of data quality assessment, outperforming other strong baselines representative of clustering, isolation-based, and deep reconstruction methods. The effectiveness and robustness of the proposed framework are further demonstrated by the findings of ablation experiments and hyperparameter analysis.
