  • Need more information. For example, what is the data like? How are you imputing the values? It appears that you're just imputing mean everywhere. Do you even need it, maybe getting rid of missing values would be better? Also, why do you assume the relationship is linear? Several relationships look exponential to me.

  • To answer your question - I believe the linear model would work better without imputing missing values. There's too many of them and they will skew the relationship quite significantly

    Your question is not about a specific programming problem, a software algorithm, or software tools primarily used by programmers, hence off-topic for SO. A question about imputation effects (rather than its implementation) seems a better fit for Cross Validated. Please consult its how to ask section before posting, and it is bound to have similar questions there already. Also, please clarify what imputation method you are using. A minimal reproducible example is always appreciated.

  • maybe you could ask on similar portals DataScience, CrossValidated or forum Kaggle - they should have better experience with Machine Learning
