Iterative missing value imputation based on feature importance

Many datasets suffer from missing values due to various reasons,which not only increases the processing difficulty of related tasks but also reduces the accuracy of classification. To address this problem, the mainstream approach is to use missing value imputation to complete the dataset. Existing imputation methods estimate the missing parts based on the observed values in the original feature space, and they treat all features as equally important during data completion, while in fact different features have different importance. Therefore, we have designed an imputation method that considers feature importance. This algorithm iteratively performs matrix completion and feature importance learning, and specifically, matrix completion is based on a filling loss that incorporates feature importance. Our experimental analysis involves three types of datasets: synthetic datasets with different noisy features and missing values, real-world datasets with artificially generated missing values, and real-world datasets originally containing missing values. The results on these datasets consistently show that the proposed method outperforms the existing five imputation algorithms.To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work that considers feature importance in the imputation model.
