NAME

mlpack_preprocess_imputer - impute data

SYNOPSIS

 mlpack_preprocess_imputer -i string -m string -s string [-c double] [-d int] [-V bool] [-o string] [-h -v] 

DESCRIPTION

This utility takes a dataset and converts a user-defined missing variable to another to provide more meaningful analysis.

The program does not modify the original file, but instead makes a separate file to save the output data; You can save the output by specifying the file name with'--output_file (-o)'.

For example, if we consider 'NULL' in dimension 0 to be a missing variable and want to delete whole row containing the NULL in the column-wise'dataset.csv', and save the result to 'result.csv', we could run :

$ mlpack_mlpack_preprocess_imputer --input_file dataset --output_file result --missing_value NULL --dimension 0 --strategy listwise_deletion
