A New Approach to Estimation of Response Probabilities when Missing Data are Not missing at Random
Often the probability of responding depends directly on the outcome value. This case can be treated by postulating a parametric model for the distribution of the outcomes before nonresponse and a model for the response mechanism. The two models define a parametric model for the joint distribution of the outcomes and response indicators, and therefore the parameters of these models can be estima...
متن کاملOptimal Design When Outcome Values Are Not Missing at Random
The presence of missing values complicates statistical analyses. In design of experiments, missing values are particularly problematic when constructing optimal designs, as it is not known which values are missing at the design stage. When data are missing at random it is possible to incorporate this information into the optimality criterion that is used to find designs; Imhof, Song, and Wong (...
متن کاملEfficient Estimation from Right-Censored Data when Failure Indicators are Missing at Random
The Kaplan–Meier estimator of a survival function is well known to be asymptotically efficient when cause of failure is always observed. It has been an open problem, however, to find an efficient estimator when failure indicators are missing at random. Lo (1991) showed that nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators are inconsistent, and this has led to several proposals of ad hoc estimators, ...

متن کاملMonte Carlo Likelihood Inference for Missing Data Models
We describe a Monte Carlo method to approximate the maximum likelihood estimate (MLE), when there are missing data and the observed data likelihood is not available in closed form. This method uses simulated missing data that are independent and identically distributed and independent of the observed data. Our Monte Carlo approximation to the MLE is a consistent and asymptotically normal estima...
