Abstract(in English) When considering contextware services, we set the response variable to the services to provide, and explanatory variable to the context information statistics. Usually, the explanatory variables contain some missing data. It is obvious that missing at random (MAR), which the missing depends on only observations not non-observations, is superior to missing completely at random (MCAR), which the missing does not depend on the variables in an assumed model. Random Forest (RF) is subject to the assumption of MAR, so it derive the better results than those by other conventional methods. The RF imputation can be activated since the Version 4. While being aware that RF is an ensemble learning method for the classification and/or non-linear regressions, many statistician and engineers do not know the availability of the missing data imputation. In this paper, we present the RF imputation algorithm, indicating that it works pretty well by comparing to kernel method on support vector machines.
