====================================================
Imputing missing values before building an estimator
====================================================
Missing values can be replaced by the mean, the median or the most frequent
value using the basic :class:`~sklearn.impute.SimpleImputer`.
In this example we will investigate different imputation techniques:
- imputation by the constant value 0
- imputation by the mean value of each feature combined with a missing-ness
indicator auxiliary variable
- k nearest neighbor imputation
- iterative imputation
We will use two datasets: Diabetes dataset which consists of 10 feature
variables collected from diabetes patients with an aim to predict disease
progression and California Housing dataset for which the target is the median
house value for California districts.
As neither of these datasets have missing values, we will remove some
values to create new versions with artificially missing data. The performance
of
:class:`~sklearn.ensemble.RandomForestRegressor` on the full original dataset
is then compared the performance on the altered datasets with the artificially
missing values imputed using different techniques.
