title: Deep learning based Missing Data Imputation

description: The code provided is related to training an autoencoder, evaluating its performance, and using it for imputing missing values in a dataset. Let's break down each part:Training the Autoencoder (train_autoencoder function):This function takes an autoencoder model and the input features as input.It trains the autoencoder using the input features as both input and target output (hence features, features).The autoencoder is trained for a specified number of epochs (epochs) with a given batch size (batch_size).The shuffle=True argument ensures that the data is shuffled before each epoch to prevent the model from memorizing the input order.After training, it returns the trained autoencoder model and the training history.Evaluating the Autoencoder (evaluate_autoencoder function):This function takes a trained autoencoder model and the input features as input.It uses the trained autoencoder to predict the reconstructed features from the input features.It calculates Mean Squared Error (MSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared (R2) scores between the original and reconstructed features.These metrics provide insights into how well the autoencoder is able to reconstruct the input features.Imputing with the Autoencoder (impute_with_autoencoder function):This function takes a trained autoencoder model and the input features as input.It identifies missing values (e.g., -9999) in the input features.For each row with missing values, it predicts the missing values using the trained autoencoder.It replaces the missing values with the predicted values.The imputed features are returned as output.To reuse this code:Load your dataset and preprocess it as necessary.Build an autoencoder model using the build_autoencoder function.Train the autoencoder using the train_autoencoder function with your input features.Evaluate the performance of the autoencoder using the evaluate_autoencoder function.If your dataset contains missing values, use the impute_with_autoencoder function to impute them with the trained autoencoder.Use the trained autoencoder for any other relevant tasks, such as feature extraction or anomaly detection.
