A Genetic Algorithm Approach for Non-Ignorable Missing Data
The databases store data that may be subjected to missing values either in data acquisition or data storage process. The proposed approach uses the widely used optimization technique called genetic algorithm for the NMAR (Not Missing At Random) missing mechanism which prevails more in real life that are nonignorable. Since the non-ignorable mechanism needs prior basic knowledge about the data t...
متن کاملAnalysis of non-ignorable missing and left-censored longitudinal data using a weighted random effects tobit model.
In a longitudinal study with response data collected during a hospital stay, observations may be missing because of the subject's discharge from the hospital prior to completion of the study or the death of the subject, resulting in non-ignorable missing data. In addition to non-ignorable missingness, there is left-censoring in the response measurements because of the inherent limit of detectio...
متن کاملGeneralized Linear Model for Binary Data with Missing Values: An EM Algorithm Approach
Abstract: A procedure is derived for estimating the parameter in case of missing data. The missing data mechanism is considered as missing at random (MAR) and non-ignorable. Here we use EM algorithm for logit link approach in generalized linear model. The logit link approach shows that it can effectively estimate the value of a categorical variable when we have information on the other categori...
متن کاملA semi-parametric estimation of mean functionals with non-ignorable missing data
Parameter estimation with non-ignorable missing data is a challenging problem in statistics. The fully parametric approach for joint modeling of the response model and the population model can produce results that are quite sensitive to the failure of the assumed model. We propose a more robust modeling approach by considering the model for the nonresponding part as an exponential tilting of th...
متن کاملNon-ignorable loss to follow-up: correcting mortality estimates based on additional outcome ascertainment.
Loss to follow-up (LTFU) is a common problem in many epidemiological studies. In antiretroviral treatment (ART) programs for patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), mortality estimates can be biased if the LTFU mechanism is non-ignorable, that is, mortality differs between lost and retained patients. In this setting, routine procedures for handling missing data may lead to biased esti...
