  • Abstract
    In this paper, we give a comparison of several approaches for solving the missing value problem, including deletion and single imputation techniques. Each method is briefly described, together with the advantage and disadvantage of the solution it provides. Simulation results are presented to compare the induced errors between predicted (imputed) valued and true values obtained by using different methods to fill in slots with missing values.
