Bayesian perspectives for epidemiologic research: III. Bias analysis via missing-data methods.
I present some extensions of Bayesian methods to situations in which biases are of concern. First, a basic misclassification problem is illustrated using data from a study of sudden infant death syndrome. Bayesian analyses are then given. These analyses can be conducted directly, or by converting actual-data records to incomplete records and prior distributions to complete-data records, then ap...
متن کاملPerformance evaluation of different estimation methods for missing rainfall data
There are numerous methods to estimate missing values of which some are used depending on the data type and regional climatic characteristics. In this research, part of the monthly precipitation data in Sarab synoptic station, east Azerbaijan province, Iran was randomly considered missing values. In order to study the effectiveness of various methods to estimate missing data, by seven classic s...
متن کاملBayesian Multiple Imputation and Maximum Likelihood Methods for Missing Data
Bayesian multiple imputation and maximum likelihood provide useful strategy for dealing with dataset including missing values. Imputation methods affect the significance of test results and the quality of estimates. In this paper, the general procedures of multiple imputation and maximum likelihood described which include the normal-based analysis of a multiple imputed dataset. A Monte Carlo si...
متن کاملBayesian perspectives for epidemiological research: I. Foundations and basic methods.
One misconception (of many) about Bayesian analyses is that prior distributions introduce assumptions that are more questionable than assumptions made by frequentist methods; yet the assumptions in priors can be more reasonable than the assumptions implicit in standard frequentist models. Another misconception is that Bayesian methods are computationally difficult and require special software. ...
متن کاملChoosing Appropriate Methods for Missing Data in Medical Research: a Decision Algorithm on Methods for Missing Data
Missing data (MD) are a common problem in medical research. When ignored or treated not appropriately, MD can lead to seriously biased results. Currently, there are no comprehensive guidelines for efficiently identifying suitable imputation methods in different MD situations. The objective of the paper is to discuss various methods to handle missing data. Based on a selective literature search,...
