Fill missing values using SimpleImputer

Data often would contain missing values. Sometime it makes sense to fill the missing values with some appropriate value. For example we may want to fill the missing value with, say, mean of the available values. We can fill such missing values by calculating the mean of the column and using the fillna() function. However, if several columns have missing values then we might have to repeat this process several times or write a loop. Scikit-learn offers functionality called as SimpleImputer to easily fill the missing values .
