Multiple imputation of missing phenotype data for QTL mapping.
Missing phenotype data can be a major hurdle to mapping quantitative trait loci (QTL).Though in many cases experiments may be designed to minimize the occurrence of missing data,it is often unavoidable in practice; thus, statistical methods to account for missing data are needed.In this paper we describe an approach for conjoining multiple imputation and QTL mapping.Methods are applied to map g...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation: Better than Single Imputation in Pain Studies?
Missing data is one of the genuine challenges we face during analysis of clinical trials. The main impact of missing data is that it can infuse bias in results which reduces the chance of getting the appropriate interpretation. Hence proper knowledge of techniques for handling missing data is crucial. A common method of handling this problem is by imputing missing values. There can be single or...
متن کاملA method for increasing the robustness of multiple imputation
Missing data are common wherever statistical methods are applied in practice. They present a problem in that they require that additional assumptions be made about the mechanism leading to the incompleteness of the data. By incorporating two models for the missing data process, doubly robust (DR) weighting-based methods offer some protection against misspecification bias since inferences are va...
متن کاملMultiple imputation analysis of case-cohort studies.
The usual methods for analyzing case-cohort studies rely on sometimes not fully efficient weighted estimators. Multiple imputation might be a good alternative because it uses all the data available and approximates the maximum partial likelihood estimator. This method is based on the generation of several plausible complete data sets, taking into account uncertainty about missing values. When t...
متن کاملA multiple imputation procedure of censored values in family-based genetic association studies
Biological quantitative data are subjected to censoring when a portion of values cannot be quantified because they are smaller or greater than the limit of detection (LOD) of the laboratory assay. In genetic association studies of quantitative trait, the handling of censored data has received little attention and often the solutions are unsatisfactory. However, the approach used to deal with su...
