英文摘要	To clarify the essence of unobserved values of software effort dataset, we comparatively investigate the effectiveness of regarding the unobserved values as absent features and missing values with the task of predicting software effort. When regarding unobserved values as absent features, max-margin classification is used to classify the effort directly. While regarding unobserved values as missing values, we use different imputation methods, including MINI (mean imputation based k nearest neighbor hot-deck imputation), CMI (class mean imputation) and MI (mean imputation) to impute missing values firstly and then SVM (support vector machine) is used to classify software efforts. The experiments show that the treatment of regarding unobserved values in software effort dataset as missing values produces more desirable performance measured by accuracy in using historical data for software effort classification than regarding unobserved values as absent features. Moreover, among the mentioned three imputation methods, on CSBSG data set, CMI has better performance than MINI, and on ISBSG data set, MINI has better performance than CMI. We explain the outcome in this paper.
