In this lesson, you'll learn that missing values play an important role in statistics and data analysis. Often, missing values must not be ignored, but rather they should be carefully studied to see if there's an underlying pattern or cause for their missingness. The lesson will contain NA which stands for Not Available and acts as a placeholder for missing data. We will also look in NaN's which is Not a Number mostly used for undefined operations.
