A Comparative Study of Missing Feature Imputation Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
This study presents a performance comparison of different missing feature imputation techniques under ideal as well as realistic conditions. The particular focus is on recent techniques such as Raj’s soft-decision bounded mean imputation approach and Gemmeke’s sparse imputation. In addition to experiments with oracle masks, we evaluate the usefulness of a number of different mask estimation algorithm. This includes the neg-energy criterion and a soft version of the Max-VQ algorithm. As we gradually proceed from ideal to realistic conditions, we can investigate the sensitivity of the methods towards mismatches in the acoustic conditions as well as to errors in the mask estimates.

Most of the geochemical datasets include missing data with different portions and this may cause a significant problem in geostatistical modeling or multivariate analysis of the data. Therefore, it is common to impute the missing data in most of geochemical studies. In this study, three approaches called half detection (HD), multiple imputation (MI), and the cosimulation based on Markov model 2...

Background Policy makers need models to be able to detect groups at high risk of HIV infection. Incomplete records and dirty data are frequently seen in national data sets. Presence of missing data challenges the practice of model development. Several studies suggested that performance of imputation methods is acceptable when missing rate is moderate. One of the issues which was of less concern...
