kNN-FWPD classifier is proposed with FWPD as the underlying dissimilarity measure.
kNN-FWPD classifier can be directly applied to datasets having missing features.
The proposed classifier has similar time complexity compared to the kNN classifier.
Experiments are conducted on 4 types of missingness: MCAR, MAR, MNAR1, and MNAR2.
kNN-FWPD is found to outperform ZI, AI, and kNNI in terms of classification accuracy.
