Assessing the Impact of Distance Functions on K-Nearest Neighbours Imputation of Biomedical Datasets

In healthcare domains, dealing with missing data is crucial since absent observations compromise the reliability of decision support models. K-nearest neighbours imputation has proven beneficial since it takes advantage of the similarity between patients

Preface

The European Society for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (AIME) was established in 1986 following a very successful workshop held in Pavia, Italy, the year before. The principal aims of AIME are to foster fundamental and applied research in the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to medical care and medical research, and to provide
