Missing value imputation using decision trees and decision forests by splitting and merging records: Two novel techniques

作者:

Highlights:

• Two novel missing value imputation techniques.

• Justification of the basic concepts of the techniques through some empirical analyses.

• Experimentation on nine data sets, four evaluation criteria.

• Comparison with two existing techniques.

• A complexity analysis of all techniques.
