Average Mean Average Error (MAE) and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) imputation performance ± standard deviation. For each method, the symbol indicates the measure (either M-value or β-value) for which the Wilcoxon signed-rank test p-value is <0.05. Best results per metric with respect to the Wilcoxon signed-rank test are highlighted in bold
