Nonparametric Imputation by Data Depth
基于数据深度的非参数缺失值插补
We present single imputation method for missing values which borrows the idea of data depth—a measure of centrality defined for an arbitrary point of a space with respect to a probability distribution or data cloud. This consists in iterative maximization of the depth of each observation with missing values, and can be employed with any properly defined statistical depth function. For each single iteration, imputation reverts to optimization of quadratic, linear, or…
