Spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry in the presence of defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
We prove a strong form of spontaneous breaking of rotational symmetry for a simple model of two-dimensional crystals with random defects in thermal equilibrium at low temperature.

Imputation strategies when a continuous outcome is to be dichotomized for responder analysis: a simulation study

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019
Background In many clinical trials continuous outcomes are dichotomized to compare proportions of patients who respond. A common and recommended approach to handling missing data in responder analysis is to impute as non-responders, despite known biases.

Regularized approach for data missing not at random [PDF]

open access: yesStatistical Methods in Medical Research, 2017
It is common in longitudinal studies that missing data occur due to subjects’ no response, missed visits, dropout, death or other reasons during the course of study. To perform valid analysis in this setting, data missing not at random (MNAR) have to be considered.

Comparison of Different LGM-Based Methods with MAR and MNAR Dropout Data

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
The missing not at random (MNAR) mechanism may bias parameter estimates and even distort study results. This study compared the maximum likelihood (ML) selection model based on missing at random (MAR) mechanism and the Diggle–Kenward selection model ...

Random Intersection Graphs and Missing Data

open access: yesProceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2020
Random-graphs and statistical inference with missing data are two separate topics that have been widely explored each in its field. In this paper we demonstrate the relationship between these two different topics and take a novel view of the data matrix as a random intersection graph.

Problems in dealing with missing data and informative censoring in clinical trials

open access: yesCurrent Controlled Trials in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2002
A common problem in clinical trials is the missing data that occurs when patients do not complete the study and drop out without further measurements. Missing data cause the usual statistical analysis of complete or all available data to be subject to ...

Collaborative Filtering and the Missing at Random Assumption

open access: yesCoRR, 2012
Rating prediction is an important application, and a popular research topic in collaborative filtering. However, both the validity of learning algorithms, and the validity of standard testing procedures rest on the assumption that missing ratings are missing at random (MAR).

Inference for partial correlation when data are missing not at random

open access: yes, 2017
We introduce uncertainty regions to perform inference on partial correlations when data are missing not at random. These uncertainty regions are shown to have a desired asymptotic coverage.

Evaluation of missing data mechanisms in two and three dimensional incomplete tables

open access: yes, 2018
The analysis of incomplete contingency tables is a practical and an interesting problem. In this paper, we provide characterizations for the various missing mechanisms of a variable in terms of response and non-response odds for two and three dimensional
