Neural Network Imputation in Complex Survey Design
نویسنده
چکیده
Missing data yields many analysis challenges. In case of complex survey design, in addition to dealing with missing data, researchers need to account for the sampling design to achieve useful inferences. Methods for incorporating sampling weights in neural network imputation were investigated to account for complex survey designs. An estimate of variance to account for the imputation uncertainty as well as the sampling design using neural networks will be provided. A simulation study was conducted to compare estimation results based on complete case analysis, multiple imputation using a Markov Chain Monte Carlo, and neural network imputation. Furthermore, a public-use dataset was used as an example to illustrate neural networks imputation under a complex survey design. Keywords—Complex survey, estimate, imputation, neural networks, variance.

During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...

Multiple imputation for missing survey data is relatively new concept. As defined by one of its leading proponents, "multiple imputation is the technique that replaces each missing or deficient value with two or more acceptable values representing a distribution of possibilities" (Rubin 1987, p.2). Multiply-imputed data reflects the uncertainty contained in the imputation process in a way not p...
