On the Joys of Missing Data [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Pediatric Psychology, 2013
We provide conceptual introductions to missingness mechanisms--missing completely at random, missing at random, and missing not at random--and state-of-the-art methods of handling missing data--full-information maximum likelihood and multiple imputation--followed by a discussion of planned missing designs: Multiform questionnaire protocols, 2-method ...

Missing data imputation using classification and regression trees [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ Computer Science
Background Missing data are common when analyzing real data. One popular solution is to impute missing data so that one complete dataset can be obtained for subsequent data analysis.

Testing Measurement Invariance with Ordinal Missing Data: A Comparison of Estimators and Missing Data Techniques [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Ordinal missing data are common in measurement equivalence/invariance (ME/I) testing studies. However, there is a lack of guidance on the appropriate method to deal with ordinal missing data in ME/I testing.

A new weighted NMF algorithm for missing data interpolation and its application to speech enhancement [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In this paper we present a novel weighted NMF (WNMF) algorithm for interpolating missing data. The proposed approach has a computational cost equivalent to that of standard NMF and, additionally, has the flexibility to control the degree of interpolation

INFERENCE AND MISSING DATA [PDF]

open access: yesETS Research Bulletin Series, 1975
ABSTRACTTwo results are presented concerning inference when data may be missing. First, ignoring the process that causes missing data when making sampling distribution inferences about the parameter of the data, θ, is generally appropriate if and only if the missing data are “missing at random” and the observed data are “observed at random,” and then ...

Multiple imputation with missing indicators as proxies for unmeasured variables: simulation study

open access: yesBMC Medical Research Methodology, 2020
Background Within routinely collected health data, missing data for an individual might provide useful information in itself. This occurs, for example, in the case of electronic health records, where the presence or absence of data is informative.

DEGAIN: Generative-Adversarial-Network-Based Missing Data Imputation

open access: yesInformation, 2022
Insights and analysis are only as good as the available data. Data cleaning is one of the most important steps to create quality data decision making. Machine learning (ML) helps deal with data quickly, and to create error-free or limited-error datasets.

Missing Data Analysis in Regression

open access: yesApplied Artificial Intelligence, 2022
Many of the datasets in real-world applications contain incompleteness. In this paper, we approach the effects and possible solutions to incomplete databases in regression, aiming to bridge a gap between theoretically effective algorithms.

Clustering of Data with Missing Entries

open access: yes, 2018
The analysis of large datasets is often complicated by the presence of missing entries, mainly because most of the current machine learning algorithms are designed to work with full data. The main focus of this work is to introduce a clustering algorithm,

National Estimates of Children Missing Involuntarily or for Benign Reasons. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Provides information on the numbers and characteristics of two groups not often recognized in the literature on missing children: children involuntarily missing because they were lost or injured and those missing because of a benign explanation such as a
