Summary

Congratulations on your learning in this chapter. This chapter covered data cleaning level III. Together, we learned how to detect and deal with missing values, outliers, and errors. This may sound like too short of a summary for such a long chapter, but as we saw, detection, diagnosis, and dealing with each of the three issues (missing values, outliers, and errors) can have many details and delicacies. Finishing this chapter was a significant achievement, and now you know how to detect, diagnose, and deal with all of these three possible issues you may encounter when working with a dataset.

This chapter concludes our three-chapter-long data cleaning journey. In the next chapter, we move to another important data preprocessing area, and that is data fusion and integration. Before moving on to the next chapter, spend some time working on the following exercises to solidify your learnings.
