This document provides a comprehensive guide on handling missing values and outliers in datasets, including techniques for detection, imputation, and removal, along with practical Python code examples. It also discusses the impact of these issues on machine learning models and offers strategies for effective data preprocessing.

Understanding Data Quality Issues

Before diving into specific techniques, it’s important to understand why missing values and outliers matter:

Impact on Model Performance: These issues can significantly reduce model accuracy and reliability
Bias Introduction: Improper handling can lead to biased models that don’t generalize well
Data Integrity: They often signal problems in data collection or processing that need addressing

A systematic approach to handling these issues is essential for building robust machine learning models.
