I am also impressed how you have really drilled down into the data. We are actually sitting next to each on the leader board for this competition - my own best model is an SVM. This is unfair as I used your title work! So I thought I would make a couple of suggestions to you that may or maynot be useful.<br /><br />I highly recommend having a look at the caret package for R as it really streamlines the preprocessing and model building steps in R. It also contains built in imputation arguments to replace missing data.<br /><br />Alternatively I have found the MICE package to be very easy to use as a way to impute missing data. Anyway, congratulations again on a great blog and thanks for your postings on the Forum.<br /><br />StephenStephen Oateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483601804514142442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5220653442850638179.post-77900545421633734262013-06-04T10:16:42.802-07:002013-06-04T10:16:42.802-07:00Hi Graham,
