MissMech: An R Package for Testing Homoscedasticity, Multivariate Normality, and Missing Completely at Random (MCAR)

open access: yesJournal of Statistical Software, 2014
Researchers are often faced with analyzing data sets that are not complete. To prop- erly analyze such data sets requires the knowledge of the missing data mechanism.

Generating Synthetic Missing Data: A Review by Missing Mechanism

open access: yesIEEE Access, 2019
The performance evaluation of imputation algorithms often involves the generation of missing values. Missing values can be inserted in only one feature (univariate configuration) or in several features (multivariate configuration) at different ...

Identifying type and determinants of missing items in quality of life questionnaires: Application to the SF-36 French version of the 2003 Decennial Health Survey

open access: yesHealth and Quality of Life Outcomes, 2010
Background Missing items are common in quality of life (QoL) questionnaires and present a challenge for research in this field. The development of sound strategies of replacement and prevention requires accurate knowledge of their type and determinants ...

Evaluation of Multiple Imputation in Missing Data Analysis: An Application on Repeated Measurement Data in Animal Science

open access: yesTurkish Journal of Agriculture: Food Science and Technology, 2015
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of multiple imputation method in case that missing observation structure is at random and completely at random from the approach of general linear mixed model.

An efficient $k$-means-type algorithm for clustering datasets with incomplete records [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The $k$-means algorithm is arguably the most popular nonparametric clustering method but cannot generally be applied to datasets with incomplete records.

Efficient estimation of the error distribution function in heteroskedastic nonparametric regression with missing data [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We propose a residual-based empirical distribution function to estimate the distribution function of the errors of a heteroskedastic nonparametric regression with responses missing at random based on completely observed data, and we show this estimator

A systematic approach towards missing lab data in electronic health records: A case study in non‐small cell lung cancer and multiple myeloma

open access: yesCPT: Pharmacometrics & Systems Pharmacology, 2023
Real‐world data derived from electronic health records often exhibit high levels of missingness in variables, such as laboratory results, presenting a challenge for statistical analyses.

Mechanism-aware imputation: a two-step approach in handling missing values in metabolomics

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2022
When analyzing large datasets from high-throughput technologies, researchers often encounter missing quantitative measurements, which are particularly frequent in metabolomics datasets.

Comparison of machine learning methods for estimating case fatality ratios: An Ebola outbreak simulation study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2021
BackgroundMachine learning (ML) algorithms are now increasingly used in infectious disease epidemiology. Epidemiologists should understand how ML algorithms behave within the context of outbreak data where missingness of data is almost ubiquitous ...

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
