Bonus - R-miss-tastic - theoretical background and resources which relate to R missing values package. I recommend the lecture notes. https://rmisstastic.netlify.com/lectures/ Working with missing data in Pandas - pandas is the swiss knife of data scientists, Pandas allows dropping records with missing values, fill missing values, interpolation of missing data points, etc. https://pandas.pydata.org/pandas-docs/stable/user_guide/missing_data.html Missing data visualization - provides several levels and types of visualizations - per sample, per feature, features heat map and dendrogram in order to gain a better understanding of missing values in a dataset. https://github.com/ResidentMario/missingno FancyImput - Multivariate imputation and matrix completion algorithms implemented. This package was partially merged to scikit-learn. This package focus on viewing the data as a matrix and not a composition of columns, unfortunately, it is no longer actively maintained but maybe in the future. https://github.com/iskandr/fancyimpute Missingpy - scikit-learn consistent API for data imputation. Implements KNN imputation (also implemented in FancyImput) and Random Forest imputation (MissForest). Seems unmaintained. https://github.com/epsilon-machine/missingpy MDI - Missing Data Imputation Package - accompanying code to Missing Data Imputation for Supervised Learning (https://arxiv.org/abs/1610.09075) https://github.com/rafaelvalle/MDI
