• Abstract: The challenge of missing data remains a significant obstacle across various scientific domains, necessitating the development of advanced imputation techniques that can effectively address complex missingness patterns. This study introduces the Precision Adaptive Imputation Network (PAIN), a novel algorithm designed to enhance data reconstruction by dynamically adapting to diverse data types, distributions, and missingness mechanisms. PAIN employs a tri-step process that integrates statistical methods, random forests, and autoencoders, ensuring balanced accuracy and efficiency in imputation. Through rigorous evaluation across multiple datasets, including those characterized by high-dimensional and correlated features, PAIN consistently outperforms traditional imputation methods, such as mean and median imputation, as well as other advanced techniques like MissForest. The findings highlight PAIN's superior ability to preserve data distributions and maintain analytical integrity, particularly in complex scenarios where missingness is not completely at random. This research not only contributes to a deeper understanding of missing data reconstruction but also provides a critical framework for future methodological innovations in data science and machine learning, paving the way for more effective handling of mixed-type datasets in real-world applications.
