Analytic strategies for longitudinal networks with missing data

Missing Data in Longitudinal Trials - Part B, Analytic Issues.

Longitudinal designs in psychiatric research have many benefits, including the ability to measure the course of a disease over time. However, measuring participants repeatedly over time also leads to repeated opportunities for missing data, either through failure to answer certain items, missed assessments, or permanent withdrawal from the study. To avoid bias and loss of information, one shoul...

Anova for Longitudinal Data with Missing Values

We carry out an ANOVA analysis to compare multiple treatment effects for longitudinal studies with missing values. The treatment effects are modeled semiparametrically via a partially linear regression which is flexible in quantifying the time effects of treatments. The empirical likelihood is employed to formulate nonparametric ANOVA tests for treatment effects with respect to covariates and t...

Bayesian quantile regression for longitudinal studies with nonignorable missing data.

We study quantile regression (QR) for longitudinal measurements with nonignorable intermittent missing data and dropout. Compared to conventional mean regression, quantile regression can characterize the entire conditional distribution of the outcome variable, and is more robust to outliers and misspecification of the error distribution. We account for the within-subject correlation by introduc...

A Comparison Of Methods For Longitudinal Analysis With Missing Data

Comparison of different methods for longitudinal data with missing observations

COMPARISON OF DIFFERENT METHODS FOR LONGITUDINAL DATA WITH MISSING OBSERVATIONS Lin Sun July 27, 2010 Longitudinal studies occupy an important role in scientific researches and clinical trials. When taking the analysis of longitudinal data, investigators are often confronted with missing data which will produce potential biases, even in well-controlled condition. In the literature, missing data...
