Missing data refers to the absence of a value for observations and is a common occurrence in most datasets. Scikit-learn, the open source Python library for machine learning, does not support missing values as input for machine learning models, so we need to convert these values into numbers. To select the missing data imputation technique, it is important to know about the amount of missing information in our variables. In this recipe, we will learn how to identify and quantify missing data using pandas and how to make plots with the percentages of missing data per variable.
