This study introduces a novel control chart to assess data quality after imputation, crucial for handling missing data in medical datasets. The developed algorithm helps evaluate imputation method performance and ensures reliable data mining results.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Data Science
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Missing data is prevalent in large datasets, especially medical data, necessitating robust imputation techniques.
  • Imputation methods replace missing values to enable subsequent data mining procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate and compare multivariate classification, multiple imputation, and factorial analysis imputation methods.
  • To develop a control chart for assessing data quality post-imputation in multivariate datasets.

Main Methods:

  • Comparison of imputation techniques using simulated and a diabetes medical database.
  • Development of an iterative algorithm to generate a control chart plotting prediction error against missing data proportion.
  • Algorithm steps include data simulation, missing value introduction, imputation, and prediction error computation.

Main Results:

  • A control chart was established for three imputation methods under a multivariate normal distribution assumption.
  • The control chart effectively visualizes the impact of missing data proportion on prediction error.
  • Demonstrated the practical application of the control chart on a large medical database.

Conclusions:

  • The developed control chart serves as a valuable tool for evaluating imputation quality in the data pre-processing stage.
  • This method enhances the reliability of data mining outcomes by ensuring data integrity after imputation.
  • The study provides a systematic approach to quality control for imputation in complex datasets.
