Impacts of Dirty Data: and Experimental Evaluation

16 Mar 2018  ·  Zhixin Qi, Hongzhi Wang, Jianzhong Li, Hong Gao ·

Data quality issues have attracted widespread attention due to the negative impacts of dirty data on data mining and machine learning results. The relationship between data quality and the accuracy of results could be applied on the selection of the appropriate algorithm with the consideration of data quality and the determination of the data share to clean. However, rare research has focused on exploring such relationship. Motivated by this, this paper conducts an experimental comparison for the effects of missing, inconsistent and conflicting data on classification and clustering algorithms. Based on the experimental findings, we provide guidelines for algorithm selection and data cleaning.
