This was the best explanation that I have heard since my DS journey, Now I can confidently deal with missing values in R.. Kudos to you Bharat Sir, much appreciated :)
Very nicely explained, thank you. Can you suggest references that we could use in a paper to justify imputing NAs before running a mixed anova analysis rather than just using a lmer function that does listwise deletion? Our missing are 30% of the data and I think it is too much information to be lost...
I've been wondering how to impute data and as always you make it seem very easy. Would be interested in seeing a tutorial on how to handle outliers in a data set prior to training a model.
First of all - thank you for still answering questions two years after the release of this video! My question is - where is the original data file taken from, as I would like to use it in a paper and have to cite the original source. Thank you sir!
Thanks for the comments! Here are some links that you may find useful: Machine Learning videos: goo.gl/WHHqWP Introductory R Videos: goo.gl/NZ55SJ Deep Learning with TensorFlow: goo.gl/5VtSuC Image Analysis & Classification: goo.gl/Md3fMi Text mining: goo.gl/7FJGmd Data Visualization: goo.gl/Q7Q2A8
Explanation part is very good. I have a question, does this package perform swiftly when it comes to big data sets with multiple rows and lots of NA's? What are the other options?
It should work fine with bigger data sets. If your computer is faster with at least 16gb RAM, I don't foresee any issue. You can also save time with number of imputations where default is 5, but you can go lower too.
Any of the 3 imputations should be fine. Many methods do not allow you to proceed with model building unless missing data is addressed. You can also run a model with each of the 3 imputations and choose one that gives the best results.
A very nice presentation of how to impute missing data. However, I was a bit disappointed in the data set you chose (vehicleMiss.csv). It lacked information. What was the source? How long a time span did it cover? What was the currency - $. Although, these things seem clear it helps to state it nevertheless. A brief introduction of the data and what is means would have been nice. Finally, with less than 1% NAs few would bother spending a lot of time or effort imputing such data since the effect is essentially null on any analysis outcome. Another dataset - even the ones already baked into some of the packages (such as naniar or mice) would have been more appropriate. Don't get me wrong I appreciate the time and effort you put into this and it is a very nice introduction to the mice package. Thanks.
Simple and easy explanation. Requesting you to please upload one video with different methods of imputation with majority of categorical predicators if possible. Thanks Sunil
Hi Sir - I have dataset from one of competition, if you allow can i send to you to make video on imputation with categorigal predictors. Please share your email id - sangasunil@gmail.com
This is a very clear explanation and demonstration of the mice package. I will use this package from now on. thanks. What dataset did you use in your demonstration?
Thanks for creating such intuitive video once again. Very helpful. Was keen to know, what is the best way to research these techniques and ending up writing such succinct codes?
Nice explanation. Clear and to the point. I have one query regarding multi-year data. I have data on maize hybrids belonging to three maturity levels (Early, Medium and late) and tested for three years. The problem is that data is unbalanced as the number of hybrids tested every year (and for each maturity) varies with some being common across all three years. Can you help me how to proceed? I applied the lme4 package for variance components estimation but it gives an error for model convergence.
Is there a way to impute only specific columns. Say, I don't want to impute column 2-7 with the command [,2:7] but columns 2,4,8,10 etc. Can I specify these in the mice command? Thanks in advance!
Thank you so so much for this very helpful video. I want to find out though. Is there a way of saving the complete data after imputation into time series (xts object) other than the data.frame? I am dealing with monthly returns
Thanks for explanation! My question is how can I apply mice function to large data set (for example: my data set that I work on it has 105000 observations and 226 variables)? I tried what you applied in video but firstly I had error like "system is computationally singular: reciprocal condition number". After that I also change method parameter as "cart" inside mice function (but I am not sure cause I have both categorical and continuous features in my data), it did not give any error but not it takes too much time and does not end. So, I could not make any imputation. Do you have any suggestion? Thank you.
Nice tutorial. I have 1 year time series MODIS vegetation indices like NDVI , EVI etc. with 16 days temporal resolution. i want to fill the time gap in datasets. How i can do this in RStudio any suggestion?
Dear Prof Rai, I found this error in the package marginplot(data[,c('Mileage', 'lc')]) Error in marginplot(data[, c("Mileage", "lc")]) : could not find function "marginplot"
@@bkrai Thank you for your advice, Sir. I solved the issue. However, another issue comes, as after imputation a warning message appears "Warning message: number of logged events: XX." XX is a number. Do you have any clue about this issue?
@@bkrai Ok. Would you recommend this MICE imputation method for a gene expression analysis and mass spectrometer based data? since these data can be large in variable.
Sir, in the case of my dataset missing values using MICE, it shows this error: "Warning message: Number of logged events: 243." As my dataset is having 120 columns. How can change my code. My current code is: impute
Thank you for that great explanation. The thing I still don't get is, what criteria should I use to decide, which imputation to use? And s it always good to choose one (e.g. the first imputation") for ALL variables?
If there are 3 and all of them provide consistent outcome for the model, then any of the 3 can be chosen. But if due to random chance one of them behaves very different in terms of model results, then have another option is always good.
Very nicely explained Sir. If I need to understand the process of imputation that how it is calculated then I need to read the documentation for the same that what calculations has been done in this function. Can you name some companies also working in Data Science and Analysis in R , Python etc.
For each R package there is very detailed publicly available documentation that provides various functions, their details, and examples. All leading companies such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, etc., use data science and freely available packages such as R and Python.
in this function under impute (impute$imp$Mileage) what is "imp" where did it came from? and great video on missing value is there any other way we can treat missing value?
That's such a wonderful explanation about missing data! I have bought several ML courses in Udemy, but none of them were so detailed as your video. Thank you! Please let me know if you have a donation method available!
Sir, 1 query I am having if we need to replace any variable value by its group mean then how will we do and sometimes it is also true that most of the variables have skewed data, i.e., we cannot use mean and should use median instead, then how to do the replacement of missing values. Please help sir!!
Such a great Explanation I need help on my ML problem. I am a chemical engineer with 4 years of manufacturing background, I am new DS and learning myself from RUclips and other sources. I am predicting the efficiency of a chemical reactor that is measured on 3 different days a week by Laboratory. This efficiency is indirectly related to some other variables whose values are continuous. In short, I have 7 predictors/input variable, each variable has one value per day, that means for each input variable I have 750 values ( almost two years), but my outcome variable has only 230 values in the two years, I want to fill the missing values for my outcome variable. Should I use imputation?
Nice video sir..I tried this in a situation where only one column is there with missing value there I am getting the error "Data should be a matrix or data frame" how to handle it?

Dear Bharatendra Rai
In multiple imputation, how to decide on which the best proposed from 3 or 5 imputation?
When you do 3 imputations, you can separately try them with your prediction model and choose the one that works best.
It helped me a lot. Thanks for the video sir.Would like to see more such videos from you.
