Issue
Imputation of tables with a large number of features is slow/unfeasible (e.g. #3129).
Imputation is done column by column, each time computing the basic stats. However, each time these stats are computed for the entire table (all columns) resulting in a quadratic time complexity.
Description of changes
Table's
_compute_basic_stats
has acolumns
parameter. Before, it passed the entire table tostatistics.utils.stats
and filtered the results. Now, we filter the table by given columns before passing it on for stats computation.Includes
