Abstract

Considering the structure and characteristics of missing values in a clinical dataset is essential for choosing the most appropriate data imputation technique, especially within conventional statistical methods. Accurately estimating missing values to reflect reality enhances the likelihood of obtaining high-quality and reusable data, contributing significantly to precise medical decision-making processes. Performing this review study creates a guideline for choosing the most appropriate imputation methods in data preprocessing stages to perform analytical processes on structured clinical datasets.
