How can incorrect handling of missing data impact the bias-variance trade-off in a machine learning model?
- Does not affect the bias-variance trade-off.
- Increases bias and reduces variance.
- Increases both bias and variance.
- Increases variance and reduces bias.
Improper handling of missing data, such as by naive imputation methods, can lead to an increase in bias and a decrease in variance. This is because the imputed values could be biased, leading the model to learn incorrect patterns.
