# Impute missing values
This task is to replace missing data in the data with estimated values based on selected method.
Figure 1. Select methods to replace missing values in the data
First select the computation is based on samples/cells or features, and click **Finish** to replace missing values. Some functions will generate the same results no matter which transform option is selected, e.g. constant value. Others will generate different results:
* Constant values: specify a value to replace the missing data
* Maximum: use maximum value of samples/cells or features to replace missing data depends transform option
* Mean: use mean value of samples/cells or features to replace missing data depends transform option
* Median: use median value of samples/cells or features to replace missing data depends transform option
* Minimum: use minimum value of samples/cells or features to replace missing data depends transform option
* K-nearest neighbor (mean): specify number of neighbors (N), Euclidean metric is used to compute neighbors, use mean of (N) neighbors to replace missing data
* K-nearest neighbor (median): specify number of neighbors (N), Euclidean metric is used to compute neighbors, use median of (N) neighbors to replace missing data

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.bioinsight.illumina.com/partek/partek-flow/user-manual/task-menu/normalization-and-scaling/impute-missing-values.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
