Document Frequency Factor – multiplier that is applied to Number of Documents variable in TF-cIDF term weight model. If DFC = 0, then it is TF model, if DFC=1, then it is typical TF-IDF.

Missing at Random

Missing at random means that the propensity for a data point to be missing is not related to the missing data, but it is related to some of the observed data Source: https://towardsdatascience.com/how-to-handle-missing-data-8646b18db0d4
