A general instrumental variable framework for regression analysis with outcome missing not at random.
The instrumental variable (IV) design is a well-known approach for unbiased evaluation of causal effects in the presence of unobserved confounding. In this article, we study the IV approach to account for selection bias in regression analysis with outcome missing not at random. In such a setting, a valid IV is a variable which (i) predicts the nonresponse process, and (ii) is independent of the...
متن کاملimputation in missing not at random snps data using em algorithm
the relation between single nucleotide polymorphisms (snps) and some diseases has been concerned by many researchers. also the missing snps are quite common in genetic association studies. hence, this article investigates the relation between existing snps in dnmt1 of human chromosome 19 with colorectal cancer. this article aims is to presents an imputation method for missing snps not at random...
متن کاملRandom Forest variable importance with missing data
Random Forests are commonly applied for data prediction and interpretation. The latter purpose is supported by variable importance measures that rate the relevance of predictors. Yet existing measures can not be computed when data contains missing values. Possible solutions are given by imputation methods, complete case analysis and a newly suggested importance measure. However, it is unknown t...
متن کاملSensitivity analyses for trials with missing data, assuming missing not at random mechanisms
In randomised trials with missing data, it is not uncommon for the observation of the outcome to depend on the outcome itself. For example in behavioural trials on smoking cessation, weight loss, or alcohol reduction, unsuccessful participants may be less willing to disclose their outcome than those that are more successful. These Missing Not At Random (MNAR) data are problematic because they c...
متن کاملVariable selection with Random Forests for missing data
Variable selection has been suggested for Random Forests to improve their efficiency of data prediction and interpretation. However, its basic element, i.e. variable importance measures, can not be computed straightforward when there is missing data. Therefore an extensive simulation study has been conducted to explore possible solutions, i.e. multiple imputation, complete case analysis and a n...
