Recoverability and Testability of Missing data: Introduction and Summary of Results
نویسنده
چکیده
This is an expository paper, aimed to provide a gentle introduction to missing data problems as viewed from graphical modeling perspective. Aside from producing new theoretical results, the graphical perspective offers researchers a transparent language in which to understand, articulate and analyze missing data problems. Users can specify graphical features of their problems before choosing software or algorithms, and methodological researchers can use graph-based tools to develop software and algorithms that either exploit modeling assumptions or stand robust to such assumptions. The text of this paper is written around as set of 11 slides (marked 59-69) presented at the JSM-13 meeting, on August 6, 3013. 1 TECHNICAL REPORT R-417 October 2013

Searchable Encryption with Keyword-Recoverability
Searchable encryption has many applications including email systems and storage systems. The usefulness of searchable encryption derives from its support of keyword-testability. Keyword-testability means that a receiver of a ciphertext can test whether the ciphertext contains a specific keyword. Recently, Bellare et al. suggested an efficientlysearchable encryption scheme with keyword-recoverab...
متن کاملOn the Testability of Models with Missing Data
Graphical models that depict the process by which data are lost are helpful in recovering information from missing data. We address the question of whether any such model can be submitted to a statistical test given that the data available are corrupted by missingness. We present sufficient conditions for testability in missing data applications and note the impediments for testability when dat...
متن کاملParametric and Nonparametric Regression with Missing X’s—A Review
This paper gives a detailed overview of the problem of missing data in parametric and nonparametric regression. Theoretical basics, properties as well as simulation results may help the reader to get familiar with the common problem of incomplete data sets. Of course, not all occurences can be discussed so this paper could be seen as an introduction to missing data within regression analysis an...
متن کاملGraphical Models for Inference with Missing Data
We address the problem of recoverability i.e. deciding whether there exists a consistent estimator of a given relation Q, when data are missing not at random. We employ a formal representation called ‘Missingness Graphs’ to explicitly portray the causal mechanisms responsible for missingness and to encode dependencies between these mechanisms and the variables being measured. Using this represe...
متن کاملMissing data imputation in multivariable time series data
Multivariate time series data are found in a variety of fields such as bioinformatics, biology, genetics, astronomy, geography and finance. Many time series datasets contain missing data. Multivariate time series missing data imputation is a challenging topic and needs to be carefully considered before learning or predicting time series. Frequent researches have been done on the use of diffe...
