-  Blood-Test-Result
-  standard methodology from Statistics is throw data away
-  assign missing value to the most common value at node    
-  alternatively, assign missing value to the most common value at
node   for examples with the same target value for examples with the same target value
-  assign probability to each possible value, estimated by
frequencies at node    
 
-  latter tack, can be subdivided again later in the tree
-  same approach can be used to classify examples
