Doubt about the meaning of anonymized ID of zero #24

Closed coldstarnju closed 7 years ago

coldstarnju commented 7 years ago
Hello, I find that zero appears in the anonymized IDs of attributes, like discipline_id, industry_id and region. There is no definite description about it. Does zero mean unknown/missing or have specific meaning just like other IDs? It has influence on data preprocessing.
Would you like to add some definite description about it?

Thank you very much, iFei
