Kramers-Kronig Transform
The K-K Transform states that the phase and magnitude in a
real (linear, stable, and causal) system are related.
Apply the Transform to the EIS data. Calculate the magnitude
from the experimental phase. If the calculated magnitudes
match the experimental magnitudes, then you can have some
confidence in the data. The converse is also true.
If the values do not match, then the probability is high that your
system is not linear, not stable, or not causal.
The K-K Transform as a validator of the data is not accepted by
all of the electrochemical community.
Mathematically
Theoretically, it is possible to calculate the
imaginary part from the real part (or vice
versa)
However, one would need the entire set of
data from f=- to f=

Bad K-K
To sum up
Do a K-K transform every time you have a
new data set you are working on.
Any feature in the data that is not
transformable is either an instrumental or
an experimental artifact and does not
contain actual usable information.
