Problem

You are working with a supervised learning dataset that has missing values and a few heavily skewed numeric features. The model will be used in production, so the preprocessing has to be fit correctly and carried forward at inference time.

Question

How do you handle missing or highly skewed data in a dataset before feeding it into a predictive model?
