Single versus multiple imputation for genotypic data
Due to the growing need to combine data across multiple studies and to impute untyped markers based on a reference sample, several analytical tools for imputation and analysis of missing genotypes have been developed. Current imputation methods rely on single imputation, which ignores the variation in estimation due to imputation. An alternative to single imputation is multiple imputation. In t...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation for Missing Data
Multiple imputation provides a useful strategy for dealing with data sets with missing values. Instead of filling in a single value for each missing value, Rubin’s (1987) multiple imputation procedure replaces each missing value with a set of plausible values that represent the uncertainty about the right value to impute. These multiply imputed data sets are then analyzed by using standard proc...
متن کاملMultiple imputation for missing data: fully conditional specification versus multivariate normal imputation.
Statistical analysis in epidemiologic studies is often hindered by missing data, and multiple imputation is increasingly being used to handle this problem. In a simulation study, the authors compared 2 methods for imputation that are widely available in standard software: fully conditional specification (FCS) or "chained equations" and multivariate normal imputation (MVNI). The authors created ...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation: Better than Single Imputation in Pain Studies?
Missing data is one of the genuine challenges we face during analysis of clinical trials. The main impact of missing data is that it can infuse bias in results which reduces the chance of getting the appropriate interpretation. Hence proper knowledge of techniques for handling missing data is crucial. A common method of handling this problem is by imputing missing values. There can be single or...
متن کاملGenotypic discrepancies arising from imputation
The ideal genetic analysis of family data would include whole genome sequence on all family members. A strategy of combining sequence data from a subset of key individuals with inexpensive, genome-wide association study (GWAS) chip genotypes on all individuals to infer sequence level genotypes throughout the families has been suggested as a highly accurate alternative. This strategy was followe...
