To evaluate and compare methods for estimating missing values in gene microarray datasets across multiple parameters and data loss levels.
Implemented and evaluated three missing value estimation algorithms: Singular Value Decomposition (SVDimpute), weighted K-nearest neighbors (KNNimpute), and row averaging.
Assessed performance across multiple parameter configurations and real microarray datasets with missing value rates ranging from 1% to 20%.
KNNimpute demonstrated greater robustness and sensitivity for estimating missing values compared to SVDimpute across tested missing value ranges.
Both KNNimpute and SVDimpute substantially outperformed traditional row averaging and zero-filling approaches.
