Abstract
We first survey existing methods to deal with missing values and report the results of an experimental comparative evaluation in terms of their processing cost and quality of imputing missing values. We then propose three cluster-based mean-and-mode algorithms to impute missing values. Experimental results show that these algorithms with linear complexity can achieve comparative quality as sophisticated algorithms and therefore are applicable to large datasets.
