Analysis of Herschel Space Observatory data using missing value techniques
Abstract
In astronomy, observational data often contain missing values for some features or objects. Such unobserved data cause less information to make decisions in different scientific researches. These problems are solved by developing appropriate algorithms and methodologies. In this paper, we have discussed different techniques along with our proposed optimum imputation technique to overcome missing value problem in astronomy and astrophysics. We have compared the performance of different techniques on the basis of Herschel Space Observatory data which contain missing observations. The data consist of size measures and surface brightness of infrared luminous galaxies and Palomar-Green quasars. Optimum imputation technique provides the best complete data set on these astronomical objects. We have performed further analysis using these complete data.

Disclaimer/Regarding indexing issue:
We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
