Application of pattern-mixture models to outcomes that are potentially missing not at random using pseudo maximum likelihood estimation.
In this work, we fit pattern-mixture models to data sets with responses that are potentially missing not at random (MNAR, Little and Rubin, 1987). In estimating the regression parameters that are identifiable, we use the pseudo maximum likelihood method based on exponential families. This procedure provides consistent estimators when the mean structure is correctly specified for each pattern, w...
متن کاملMissing not at random models for latent growth curve analyses.
The past decade has seen a noticeable shift in missing data handling techniques that assume a missing at random (MAR) mechanism, where the propensity for missing data on an outcome is related to other analysis variables. Although MAR is often reasonable, there are situations where this assumption is unlikely to hold, leading to biased parameter estimates. One such example is a longitudinal stud...
متن کاملGaussian Copula Precision Estimation with Missing Values
We consider the problem of estimating sparse precision matrix of Gaussian copula distributions using samples with missing values in high dimensions. Existing approaches, primarily designed for Gaussian distributions, suggest using plugin estimators by disregarding the missing values. In this paper, we propose double plugin Gaussian (DoPinG) copula estimators to estimate the sparse precision mat...
متن کاملCopula Gaussian Graphical Models *
We propose a comprehensive Bayesian approach for graphical model determination in observational studies that can accommodate binary, ordinal or continuous variables simultaneously. Our new models are called copula Gaussian graphical models and embed graphical model selection inside a semiparametric Gaussian copula. The domain of applicability of our methods is very broad and encompass many stud...
متن کاملPair-copula constructions for non-Gaussian DAG models
We propose a new type of multivariate statistical model that permits non-Gaussian distributions as well as the inclusion of conditional independence assumptions induced by a directed acyclic graph. These models feature a specific factorisation of the likelihood that is based on pair-copula constructions and hence involves only univariate distributions and bivariate copulas, of which some may be...
