Imputation of missing data is of paramount importance in machine learning and data mining tasks with incomplete data. In this paper, a fuzzy-neighborhood density-based clustering technique is developed for imputation of missing data. The proposed technique makes use of the density measure, in order to group the similar patterns and find the best donors for each incomplete target pattern to impute its missing values. The fuzzy neighborhood membership degrees are adjusted using an invasive weed optimization algorithm. The performance of the proposed imputation technique is evaluated using eight synthetic publicly available datasets with induced missing values and compared with the performance of other existing competitors, k-means imputation, fuzzy c-means imputation and fuzzy c-means with genetic algorithm imputation. Various types of missingness have been induced to each dataset. The attained results show the effectiveness of the proposed missing data imputation technique. |
