Kernel-Based Multi-Imputation for Missing Data

A Kernel-Based Nonparametric Multiple imputation method is proposed under MAR (Missing at Random) and MCAR (Missing Completely at Random) missing mechanisms in nonparametric regression settings. We experimentally evaluate our approach, and demonstrate that our imputation performs better than the well-known NORM algorithm.
