Hi all,
I am studying the classification problem (or prediction problem) based on a feature matrix. But I found a lot of missing values in some features (even more than 80%). I would like to ask how to add or fill in the missing values while retaining these features. At the same time, may I ask if such a filling is meaningful? The reason why I want to keep these features is that after I remove the missing values, the classification results based on individual features are good.
Best Regards
Eric

You do not need to fill in (impute) the missing values. What you have is a sparse matrix, and plenty of classification tools work with sparse data. Just to name a few: support vector machines, random forests, gradient boosting machines.
