Imputing with mean missing_data_navkiran_cli in.csv out.csv IMPUTE 0

Imputing with median missing_data_navkiran_cli in.csv out.csv IMPUTE 1

Imputing with mode missing_data_navkiran_cli in.csv out.csv IMPUTE 2

First argument after outcli is the input csv filename from which the dataset is extracted. The second argument is for storing the final dataset after processing.

Use in .py script

from missing_data_navkiran import dropval,filler,impute
input_df = pd.read_csv('in.csv')
output_df = dropval(input_df,along=0)
# Or
output_df = filler(input_df,1)
# Or
output_df = impute(input_df,1)

There are also stand alone functions to fill numerical data and fill categorical data.

from missing_data_navkiran import fill_numerical,fill_categorical
fill_numerical(input_df,list_of_numerical_columns)
fill_categorical(input_df,list_of_categorical_columns)
