Empirical Likelihood for Multidimensional Linear Model with Missing Responses
نویسندگان
چکیده
Imputation is a popular technique for handling missing data especially for plenty of missing values. Usually, the empirical log-likelihood ratio statistic under imputation is asymptotically scaled chi-squared because the imputing data are not i.i.d. Recently, a bias-corrected technique is used to study linear regression model with missing response data, and the resulting empirical likelihood ratio is asymptotically chi-squared. However, it may suffer from the “the curse of high dimension” inmultidimensional linear regressionmodels for the nonparametric estimator of selection probability function. In this paper, a parametric selection probability function is introduced to avoid the dimension problem.With the similar bias-correctedmethod, the proposed empirical likelihood statistic is asymptotically chi-squared when the selection probability is specified correctly and even asymptotically scaled chi-squared when specified incorrectly. In addition, our empirical likelihood estimator is always consistent whether the selection probability is specified correctly or not, and will achieve full efficiency when specified correctly. A simulation study indicates that the proposed method is comparable in terms of coverage probabilities.

A MODEL FOR MIXED CONTINUOUS AND DISCRETE RESPONSES WITH POSSIBILITY OF MISSING RESPONSES
A model for missing data in mixed binary and continuous responses, which can be used on cross-sectional data, is presented. In this model response indicator for the binary response can be dependent on the continuous response. A closed form for the likelihood is found. For data with a complicated pattern of missing responses some new residuals are also proposed. The model of multiplicative heter...
متن کاملInference about the Slope in Linear Regression with Missing Responses: an Empirical Likelihood Approach
This article considers linear regression models with responses that are allowed to be missing at random, which covers the model with fully observed data as a special case. We assume that the covariates and the errors are independent, without specifying their distributions. The main result of this article is to present two efficient maximum empirical likelihood estimators for the regression para...
متن کاملCommonalities and differences in IRT-based methods for nonignorable item nonresponses
Missing responses resulting from omitted or not-reached items are beyond researchers’ control and potentially threaten the validity of test results. Empirical evidence concerning the relationship between missingness and test takers’ performance on the test have suggested that the missing data mechanism is nonignorable and needs to be taken into account. Various IRT-based models for nonignorable...
متن کاملDetection of Outliers and Influential Observations in Linear Ridge Measurement Error Models with Stochastic Linear Restrictions
The aim of this paper is to propose some diagnostic methods in linear ridge measurement error models with stochastic linear restrictions using the corrected likelihood. Based on the bias-corrected estimation of model parameters, diagnostic measures are developed to identify outlying and influential observations. In addition, we derive the corrected score test statistic for outliers detection ba...
