Item A HYBRID METHOD FOR MISSING VALUE IMPUTATION(2022-02-16) Al-Brge, Basma; Koyuncu, MuratMissing data arises in almost all serious statistical analyses. Statistical analyses have a variety of methods to handle missing data, including some relatively simple approaches that can often yield reasonable results such as the random imputation approach. The missing data imputation process must be modeled in order to perform imputations correctly. Using datasets in empirical applications is very common to perform some tasks; however, missing values in datasets should be extracted from the datasets or should be estimated before they are used for processing to produce correct association rules or clustering in the preprocessing stage of data mining and processing. In this thesis, a hybrid approach is used that combines K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) with Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) algorithm to improve the data imputation and produce data with high correlation with original missing values. The test results of the proposed hybrid method are compared with the results of several alternative methods for different rate of missing values and the results of the proposed method yields better performance than the others. The results are also compared with the reported results in the literature to give an idea about its performance.
