Dealing with Missing Attributes

Sometimes, data might be in a tidy form but have missing attributes.

Common attributes for dealing with missing attributes are:

  • Removing the examples with missing attributes from the dataset (if your dataset is big enough to safely sacrifice some data).
  • Using a learning algorithm that can deal with missing attribute values (e.g. the decision tree learning algorithm)
  • Using a Data Imputation technique.
