I guess ~1000 features for ~3000 samples is too expensive. </p>\n\n<p>Instead, I decided to learn locality sensitive hashing. I think this would enable me to bucket the different flow paths in a way that would keep similar ones close to each other, so differences of one or two stations should be well-tolerated. </p>\n\n<p>Given your experience, do you think it's reasonable to suppose that out of a set of measurements for a particular product, some records might just be missing a couple of measurements here or there? Or is it more likely that the records with missing measurements are actually very small batches, maybe even one-off products? For example, in a sample of the first 10000 products, many flow paths show up only once. </p>",
