An Alternative Sensitivity Approach for Longitudinal Analysis with Dropout

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2019
In any longitudinal study, a dropout before the final timepoint can rarely be avoided. The chosen dropout model is commonly one of these types: Missing Completely at Random (MCAR), Missing at Random (MAR), Missing Not at Random (MNAR), and Shared ...

MICE vs PPCA: Missing data imputation in healthcare

open access: yesInformatics in Medicine Unlocked, 2019
Retrospective analyses of real-world clinical data face challenges owing to the absence of some data elements. Historically, missing data was addressed by first classifying its presence into one of three categories: missing completely at random (MCAR ...

Statistical guarantees for the EM algorithm: From population to sample-based analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We develop a general framework for proving rigorous guarantees on the performance of the EM algorithm and a variant known as gradient EM. Our analysis is divided into two parts: a treatment of these algorithms at the population level (in the limit of ...

Messy Data Modelling in Health Care Contingent Valuation Studies [PDF]

open access: yes
This study addresses the complexity in modeling contingent valuation surveys with true zeros and non-ignorable missing responses including “don’t knows†and protest responses. An endogenous switching tobit model is specified to simultaneously estimate

Missing Treatments [PDF]

open access: yes
The existing literature on treatment e¤ects assumes perfect observability of the treatments received by the population of interest. Even in cases of imperfect compliance, it is usually as- sumed that both the assigned and administered treatment are ...

Semi- and non-parametric competing risks analysis of right censored data and failure cause missing completely at random

open access: yes, 2007
We consider a nonparametric and a semiparametric (in presence of covariates) additive hazards rate competing risks model with censoring and failure cause possibly missing completely at random. Estimators of the unknown parameters are proposed in order to

Estimation beyond Missing (Completely) at Random

open access: yes
We study the effects of missingness on the estimation of population parameters. Moving beyond restrictive missing completely at random (MCAR) assumptions, we first formulate a missing data analogue of Huber's arbitrary $\epsilon$-contamination model. For mean estimation with respect to squared Euclidean error loss, we show that the minimax quantiles ...

Moving Beyond Medical Statistics: A Systematic Review on Missing Data Handling in Electronic Health Records

open access: yesHealth Data Science
Background: Missing data in electronic health records (EHRs) presents significant challenges in medical studies. Many methods have been proposed, but uncertainty exists regarding the current state of missing data addressing methods applied for EHR and ...
