sklearn replace missing values in dataframe column code example

Example: Marking imputed values

# Marking imputed values

from sklearn.impute import MissingIndicator
X = np.array([[-1, -1, 1, 3]),
              [4, -1, 0, -1],
              [8, -1, 1, 0]])
indicator = MissingIndicator(missing_values=-1)
mask_missing_values_only = indicator.fit_transform(X)
mask_missing_values_only
# array([[ True,  True, False],
#        [False,  True,  True],
#        [False,  True, False]])

indicator.features_
# array([0, 1, 3])

indicator = MissingIndicator(missing_values=-1, features="all")
mask_all = indicator.fit_transform(X)
mask_all
# array([[ True,  True, False, False],
#        [False,  True, False,  True],
#        [False,  True, False, False]])
indicator.features_
# array([0, 1, 2, 3])
