Hi everyone,
I'm new here! I hope I've found the right place to post this.
My question is this... Is there a specific mathematical field of study around the following problem?
I have a collection of data points that describe a population. For any individual member of that population, how can I use the data points for that individual, in the context of the full data set, to extrapolate and predict the missing data points for the individual?
This fits into a larger concept that I've been toying with recently, so I'd really like to have a conversation with someone who understands the models/algorithms etc that could be used to solve the above problem. If you have some spare time on your hands too, and want to get involved in something that I think might be quite exciting, even better!
Looking forward to your replies
James
