Missing Value Imputation Based on Data Clustering
We propose an efficient nonparametric missing value imputation method based on clustering, called CMI (Clustering-based Missing value Imputation), for dealing with missing values in target attributes. In our approach, we impute the missing values of an instance A with plausible values that are generated from the data in the instances which do not contain missing values and are most similar to t...
متن کاملMissing Value Imputation with Unsupervised Backpropagation
Many data mining and data analysis techniques operate on dense matrices or complete tables of data. Realworld data sets, however, often contain unknown values. Even many classification algorithms that are designed to operate with missing values still exhibit deteriorated accuracy. One approach to handling missing values is to fill in (impute) the missing values. In this paper, we present a tech...
متن کاملRegression imputation of missing values in longitudinal data sets.
A stand-alone, menu-driven PC program, written in GAUSS, which can be used to estimate missing observations in longitudinal data sets is described and male available to interested readers. The program is limited to the situation in which we have complete data on N cases at each of the planned times of measurement t1, t2,..., tT; and we wish to use this information, together with the non-missing...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation of Missing Composite Outcomes in Longitudinal Data
In longitudinal randomised trials and observational studies within a medical context, a composite outcome-which is a function of several individual patient-specific outcomes-may be felt to best represent the outcome of interest. As in other contexts, missing data on patient outcome, due to patient drop-out or for other reasons, may pose a problem. Multiple imputation is a widely used method for...
متن کاملAlcohol Consumption Measures
Contributions from markedly different kinds of studies—biogenetic, epidemiologic, longitudinal, population surveys, clinical analog, and treatment outcome—have advanced our understanding of alcohol use and abuse. Although different studies examine issues from different perspectives, they have one thing in common—the assessment of alcohol consumption. Alcohol consumption, however, is a complex b...
