Abstract
Missing data is often an actual problem in real data sets, and different imputation techniques are normally used to alleviate this problem. Imputation is a method to fill in missing data with plausible values to produce a complete data set. In this chapter, we analyze the performance of the different traditional data imputation methods. A new fuzzy imputation approach is proposed using ordered weighted average operators and the majority concept. In order to form the majority concept, we propose the use of neat OWA operators and linguistic quantifiers with two fusion strategies for aggregation operators.
