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 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, and save the result to result.csv, we could run

$ mlpack_preprocess_imputer -i dataset.csv -o result.csv -m NULL -d 0 > -s listwise_deletion
