Objectives: In this study, MissForest algorithm is used to analyze the impact of missing data. Statistical Analysis: For categorical dataset, MissForest package is used to impute various missing values and tested with missing data incrementally, first with 5% missing attributes of the records from the original dataset then with 10% and so on. Findings: The Proportion of Falsely Classified (PFC) is computed for categorical dataset. Since the good performance of MissForest leads to a value close to zero and bad performance to a value around one, the performance measured for the Nursery dataset is quite good. Application: This approach has good effect when the ratio of missing data is low. Missforest algorithm can be used for numerical or categorical data. The results are improved for continuous data.
