Background and Aim: Logistic regression is an analytic tool widely used in medical and epidemiologic research. In many studies, we face data sets in which some of the data are not recorded. A simple way to deal with such "missing data" is to simply ignore the subjects with missing observations, and perform the analysis on cases for which complete data are available. Materials and Methods: We c...
متن کاملCF-GeNe: Fuzzy Framework for Robust Gene Regulatory Network Inference
Most Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) studies ignore the impact of the noisy nature of gene expression data despite its significant influence upon inferred results. This paper presents an innovative Collateral-Fuzzy Gene Regulatory Network Reconstruction (CF-GeNe) framework for Gene Regulatory Network (GRN) inference. The approach uses the Collateral Missing Value Estimation (CMVE) algorithm as it...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation for Causal Inference
The potential outcome framework for causal inference is fundamentally a missing data problem with a special, the so-called file-matching, pattern of missing data. Given the large body of literature on various methods for handling missing data and associated software, it will be useful to use such methods to facilitate causal inference for routine applications. This article uses the sequential r...
متن کاملPenalized regression procedures for variable selection in the potential outcomes framework.
A recent topic of much interest in causal inference is model selection. In this article, we describe a framework in which to consider penalized regression approaches to variable selection for causal effects. The framework leads to a simple 'impute, then select' class of procedures that is agnostic to the type of imputation algorithm as well as penalized regression used. It also clarifies how mo...
متن کاملStrategy for modelling non-random missing data mechanisms in observational studies using Bayesian methods
Observational studies inevitably suffer from non-responses and missing values. Bayesian full probability modelling provides a flexible approach for analysing such data, allowing a plausible model to be built which can then be adapted to carry out a range of sensitivity analyses. In this context, we propose a strategy for using Bayesian methods for a ‘statistically principled’ investigation of d...
