Not All Missing Data are Equal: Choosing the Right Imputation Method for Binary Datasets
Quality and Reliability Engineering International, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Missing binary predictors are common in reliability, quality control, and industrial decision systems, yet imputation methods are often chosen by convenience rather than evidence. We conduct a Monte Carlo study comparing mode substitution, sequential hot‐deck, missForest, MICE, and KNN with three neighbourhood sizes under MCAR, MAR, and MNAR ...

Frequentist Oracle Properties of Bayesian Stacking Estimators
Compromise estimation entails using a weighted average of outputs from several candidate models, and is a viable alternative to model selection when the choice of model is not obvious. As such, it is a tool used by both frequentists and Bayesians, and in both cases, the literature is vast and includes studies of performance in simulations and applied ...

Minimax and Communication-Efficient Distributed Best Subset Selection with Oracle Property
CoRRThe explosion of large-scale data in fields such as finance, e-commerce, and social media has outstripped the processing capabilities of single-machine systems, driving the need for distributed statistical inference methods. Traditional approaches to distributed inference often struggle with achieving true sparsity in high-dimensional datasets and ...
