Monte Carlo EM algorithm in logistic linear models involving non-ignorable missing data
Many data sets obtained from surveys or medical trials often include missing observations. Since ignoring the missing information usually cause bias and inefficiency, an algorithm for estimating parameters is proposed based on the likelihood function of which the missing information is taken account. A binomial response and normal exploratory model for the missing data are assumed. We fit the m...
متن کاملJust-identified versus overidentified two-level hierarchical linear models with missing data.
The development of model-based methods for incomplete data has been a seminal contribution to statistical practice. Under the assumption of ignorable missingness, one estimates the joint distribution of the complete data for thetainTheta from the incomplete or observed data y(obs). Many interesting models involve one-to-one transformations of theta. For example, with y(i) approximately N(mu, Si...
متن کاملUnsupervised Learning with Non-Ignorable Missing Data
In this paper we explore the topic of unsupervised learning in the presence of nonignorable missing data with an unknown missing data mechanism. We discuss several classes of missing data mechanisms for categorical data and develop learning and inference methods for two specific models. We present empirical results using synthetic data which show that these algorithms can recover both the unkno...
متن کاملA Bayesian analysis of mixture structural equation models with non-ignorable missing Data
In behavioral, biomedical, and social-psychological sciences, it is common to encounter latent variables and heterogeneous data. Mixture structural equation models (SEMs) are very useful methods to analyze these kinds of data. Moreover, the presence of missing data, including both missing responses and missing covariates, is an important issue in practical research. However, limited work has be...
متن کاملHierarchical Mixture Models for Nested Data Structures
A hierarchical extension of the finite mixture model is presented that can be used for the analysis of nested data structures. The model permits a simultaneous model-based clustering of lowerand higher-level units. Lower-level observations within higher-level units are assumed to be mutually independent given cluster membership of the higher-level units. The proposed model can be seen as a fini...
