A new paper argues that minimizing Mean Squared Error (MSE) for imputing missing values in machine learning can introduce biases in downstream analyses. The research demonstrates that adding noise to imputed values, a stochastic approach, can effectively eliminate these biases by preserving natural data variability. The study evaluated popular imputation tools like missForest, softImpute, and mice, finding consistent biases in predictive methods and suggesting MSE is an inadequate measure of imputation quality.
