DM: Imputation of binary-valued featuresFrom: Richard Dybowski Date: Thu, 14 Aug 1997 16:23:11 -0400 (EDT) Hi I have a dataset in which all the variables (features) are binary, however, some of the rows of the dataset have at least one value missing. Can anyone give me details of an E-M algorithm (for which convergence is guaranteed) that will enable me to model the underlying probability mass distribution thus enabling me to perform imputation? There is an established method of doing this when the variables are real-valued (i.e. by using a Gaussian mixture model of a multivariate pdf), but what is the approved method when the variables are binary-valued (or a mixture of real- and binary-valued variables)? Thanking you in advance, Richard
