In nursing practice, median imputation can be implemented using statistical software like SPSS, R, or Python. Hereâs a basic example using Python:
python
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
# Create a sample dataset
data = {'Patient_ID': [1, 2, 3, 4],
'Weight': [60, 75, np.nan, 80]}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
# Calculate median
median_value = df['Weight'].median()
# Replace missing values with median
df['Weight'].fillna(median_value, inplace=True)
print(df)
This code creates a DataFrame with missing values and replaces them with the median of the available weights.
