Modern multiple imputation with functional data [PDF]

Stat, 2021
This work considers the problem of fitting functional models with sparsely and irregularly sampled functional data. It overcomes the limitations of the state‐of‐the‐art methods, which face major challenges in the fitting of more complex non‐linear models.

Imputation strategies for missing baseline neurological assessment covariates after traumatic brain injury: A CENTER-TBI study.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Statistical models for outcome prediction are central to traumatic brain injury research and critical to baseline risk adjustment. Glasgow coma score (GCS) and pupil reactivity are crucial covariates in all such models but may be measured at multiple ...

The Multiple Adaptations of Multiple Imputation [PDF]

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2007
Multiple imputation was first conceived as a tool that statistical agencies could use to handle nonresponse in large-sample public use surveys. In the last two decades, the multiple-imputation framework has been adapted for other statistical contexts.

Multiple imputation methods for handling missing values in a longitudinal categorical variable with restrictions on transitions over time: a simulation study

BMC Medical Research Methodology, 2019
Background Longitudinal categorical variables are sometimes restricted in terms of how individuals transition between categories over time. For example, with a time-dependent measure of smoking categorised as never-smoker, ex-smoker, and current-smoker ...

A Machine Learning-Based Multiple Imputation Method for the Health and Aging Brain Study–Health Disparities

Informatics, 2023
The Health and Aging Brain Study–Health Disparities (HABS–HD) project seeks to understand the biological, social, and environmental factors that impact brain aging among diverse communities. A common issue for HABS–HD is missing data. It is impossible to

SICE: an improved missing data imputation technique

Journal of Big Data, 2020
In data analytics, missing data is a factor that degrades performance. Incorrect imputation of missing values could lead to a wrong prediction. In this era of big data, when a massive volume of data is generated in every second, and utilization of these ...

Referral Patterns and Diagnostic Timeliness in Pediatric Cancer: A Hospital‐Based Study in Indonesia

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical for improving survival among children with cancer. In low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), delays are common and may be influenced by fragmented referral pathways and diagnostic limitations.
