Abstract

This paper presents a new methodology for missing value imputation in a database. The methodology combines the outputs of several Self-Organizing Maps in order to obtain an accurate filling for the missing values. The maps are combined using MultiResponse Sparse Regression and the Hannan-Quinn Information Criterion. The new combination methodology removes the need for any lengthy cross-validation procedure, thus speeding up the computation significantly. Furthermore, the accuracy of the filling is improved, as demonstrated in the experiments.
