รายละเอียดคอร์ส

Missing data is everywhere. The process of filling in missing values is known as imputation, and knowing how to correctly fill in missing data is an essential skill if you want to produce accurate predictions and distinguish yourself from the crowd. In this course, you’ll learn how to use visualizations and statistical tests to recognize missing data patterns and how to impute data using a collection of statistical and machine learning models. You’ll also gain decision-making skills, helping you decide which imputation method fits best in a particular situation. Finally, you’ll learn to incorporate uncertainty from imputation into your inference and predictions, making them more robust and reliable.

The Problem of Missing Data

In this chapter, you’ll find out why missing data can be a risk when analyzing a dataset. You’ll be introduced to the three missing data mechanisms and learn how to recognize them using statistical tests and visualization tools.

Donor-Based Imputation

Get to know the taxonomy of imputation methods and learn three donor-based techniques: mean, hot-deck, and k-Nearest-Neighbors imputation. You’ll look under the hood to see how these methods work, before learning how to apply them to a real-world tropical weather dataset. Along the way, you’ll also learn useful tricks that you can use to make them work even better for your problems.

Model-Based Imputation

It’s time to learn how to use statistical and machine learning models, such as linear regression, logistic regression, and random forests, to impute missing data. In this chapter, you’ll look into how the models make their predictions and use this knowledge to draw the imputed values from conditional distributions. This is important as it ensures your imputations are more varied and plausible, making them more similar to the true data.

Uncertainty from Imputation

Imputed values are not set in stone. They are just estimates and estimates come with some uncertainty. In this final chapter, you’ll discover how bootstrapping and chained equation using the mice package can be used to incorporate imputation uncertainty into your models and analyses to make them more reliable and robust.
