What is the difference between missing completely at random and missing at random? [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Epidemiology, 2014
The terminology describing missingness mechanisms is confusing. In particular the meaning of 'missing at random' is often misunderstood, leading researchers faced with missing data problems away from multiple imputation, a method with considerable ...

Block-Conditional Missing at Random Models for Missing Data [PDF]

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2010
Two major ideas in the analysis of missing data are (a) the EM algorithm [Dempster, Laird and Rubin, J. Roy. Statist. Soc. Ser. B 39 (1977) 1--38] for maximum likelihood (ML) estimation, and (b) the formulation of models for the joint distribution of the

Model Selection with Missing Data Embedded in Missing-at-Random Data

open access: yesStats, 2023
When models are built with missing data, an information criterion is needed to select the best model among the various candidates. Using a conventional information criterion for missing data may lead to the selection of the wrong model when data are not ...

What Is Meant by “Missing at Random”?

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2013
The concept of missing at random is central in the literature on statistical analysis with missing data. In general, inference using incomplete data should be based not only on observed data values but should also take account of the pattern of missing values.

The Efficiency of Missing at Random Planned Missing Designs

open access: yesMathematics
Planned Missing Designs (PMDs) allow for different sets or patterns of variables to be collected from sample units. While the typical motivation for PMDs is to manage respondent burden, they can also reduce data collection costs and provide flexibility ...

Bayesian Estimation of Log-Normal Distribution Under Ranked Set Sampling With Missing Data

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2021
In this paper, joint Bayesian estimation of two parameters of a log-normal distribution is obtained based on simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) with complete and missing data.

Joint Models for Incomplete Longitudinal Data and Time-to-Event Data

open access: yesMathematics, 2022
Clinical studies often collect longitudinal and time-to-event data for each subject. Joint modeling is a powerful methodology for evaluating the association between these data.

Filling the gap in food and nutrition security data: What imputation method is best for Africa's food and nutrition security?

open access: yesLithuanian Journal of Statistics, 2022
Our study presents the methods adopted to produce accurate imputed values for Africa's food security and nutrition (FSN). We focused primarily on the following five imputation methods for handling missing data: Mean Imputation; Multiple Imputed values ...

Impact on Cronbach's alpha of simple treatment methods for missing data [PDF]

open access: yesTutorials in Quantitative Methods for Psychology, 2016
The scientific treatment of missing data has been the subject of research for nearly a century. Strangely, interest in missing data is quite new in the fields of educational science and psychology (Peugh & Enders, 2004; Schafer & Graham, 2002). It is now

Missing at random: a stochastic process perspective [PDF]

open access: yesBiometrika, 2021
SummaryWe offer a natural and extensible measure-theoretic treatment of missingness at random. Within the standard missing-data framework, we give a novel characterization of the observed data as a stopping-set sigma algebra. We demonstrate that the usual missingness-at-random conditions are equivalent to requiring particular stochastic processes to be
