Third, expectation maximisation was used to impute missing data imputation for continuous and categorical variables.
Its second aim is personal fitness, and in its programs it encourages individuals to accept physical and mental challenges, to surpass their own expectations, expand their knowledge, skills and abilities, and strive for continuous personal improvement.
Thereafter, missing values for continuous variables in the original dataset were handled using the expectation maximization (EM) method [ 15].
