The rapid proliferation of data across diverse fields has accentuated the importance of accurate imputation for missing values. This task is crucial for ensuring data integrity and deriving meaningful insights. In response to this challenge, we present Xputer, a novel imputation tool that adeptly integrates Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) with the predictive strengths of XGBoost. One of Xputer's standout features is its versatility: it supports zero imputation, enables hyperparameter optimization through Optuna, and allows users to define the number of iterations. For enhanced user experience and accessibility, we have equipped Xputer with an intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) ensuring ease of handling, even for those less familiar with computational tools. In performance benchmarks, Xputer not only rivals the computational speed of established tools such as IterativeImputer but also often outperforms them in terms of imputation accuracy. Furthermore, Xputer autonomously handles a diverse spectrum of data types, including categorical, continuous, and Boolean, eliminating the need for prior preprocessing. Given its blend of performance, flexibility, and user-friendly design, Xputer emerges as a state-of-the-art solution in the realm of data imputation. |
