Abstract

Missing data cases are a problem in all types of statistical analyses and arise in almost all application domains. Several schemes have been studied in this paper to overcome the drawbacks produced by missing values in data mining tasks, one of the most well known is based on pre processing, formerly known as imputation. In this work, we propose a new multiple imputation approach based on sampling techniques to handle missing values problems, in order to improving the quality and efficiency of data mining process. The proposed method is favourably compared with some imputation techniques and outperforms the existing approaches using an experimental benchmark on a large scale, waveform dataset taken from machine learning repository and different rate of missing values (till 95%).
