Local Multiple Imputation
نویسنده
چکیده
Dealing with missing data via parametric multiple imputation methods usually implies stating several strong assumptions about both the distribution of the data and about underlying regression relationships. If such parametric assumptions do not hold, the multiply imputed data are not appropriate and might produce inconsistent estimators and thus misleading results. In this paper, a fully nonparametric and a semiparametric imputation method are studied, both based on local resampling principles. It is shown that the final estimator, based on these local imputations, is consistent under no or fewer parametric assumptions. Asymptotic expressions for bias, variance and mean squared error are derived, showing the theoretical impact of the different smoothing parameters. Simulations illustrate the usefulness and applicability of the method.

Most of the geochemical datasets include missing data with different portions and this may cause a significant problem in geostatistical modeling or multivariate analysis of the data. Therefore, it is common to impute the missing data in most of geochemical studies. In this study, three approaches called half detection (HD), multiple imputation (MI), and the cosimulation based on Markov model 2...

Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...

Background and Objectives: A major challenge that affects the longitudinal studies is the problem of missing data. Missing in the data may result in the loss of part of the information which reduces the accuracy of the estimator and obtain the results will be biased and inaccurate. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the missing data mechanism from a longitudinal research and to consider thi...

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...
