A Pragmatic Ensemble Strategy for Missing Values Imputation in Health Records

Abstract

Pristine and trustworthy data are required for efficient computer modelling for medical decision-making, yet data in medical care is frequently missing. As a result, missing values may occur not just in training data but also in testing data that might contain a single undiagnosed episode or a participant. This study evaluates different imputation and regression procedures identified based on regressor performance and computational expense to fix the issues of missing values in both training and testing datasets. In the context of healthcare, several procedures are introduced for dealing with missing values. However, there is still a discussion concerning which imputation strategies are better in specific cases. This research proposes an ensemble imputation model that is educated to use a combination of simple mean imputation, k-nearest neighbour imputation, and iterative imputation methods, and then leverages them in a manner where the ideal imputation strategy is opted among them based on attribute correlations on missing value features. We introduce a unique Ensemble Strategy for Missing Value to analyse healthcare data with considerable missing values to identify unbiased and accurate prediction statistical modelling. The performance metrics have been generated using the eXtreme gradient boosting regressor, random forest regressor, and support vector regressor. The current study uses real-world healthcare data to conduct experiments and simulations of data with varying feature-wise missing frequencies indicating that the proposed technique surpasses standard missing value imputation approaches as well as the approach of dropping records holding missing values in terms of accuracy.

Penerapan Knnimputer Dalam Mengolah Data Missing Value Untuk Membantu Meningkatkan Akurasi Support Vector Machine Klasifikasi Penyakit Tiroid

“…Penelitian menujukkan bahwa metode imputasi KNN dapat digunakan dan memiliki hasil yang baik dalam menagani data yang hilang [7]. Data dalam perawatan medis sering mengalami permasalahan kehilangan ini menyebabkan dataset akan menjadi missing, penelitian dilakukan untuk mengkoparasi imputasi dengan regresi dan KNN untuk mendapatkan hasil yang paling baik, diantara kedua metodologi tersebut KNNImputer lebih baik dalam menyelesaikan permasalahan data yang hilang [8]. Menerapkan metodologi imputasi dapat membantu dalam membentuk model yang lebih akurat dalam memprediksi penyakit kangker, penelitian menunjukkan penerapan KNNImputer lebih dibandingkan dengan melakukang penghapusan data secara manual [9].…”
