Empirical Likelihood for Estimating Equations with Nonignorably Missing Data.
We develop an empirical likelihood (EL) inference on parameters in generalized estimating equations with nonignorably missing response data. We consider an exponential tilting model for the nonignorably missing mechanism, and propose modified estimating equations by imputing missing data through a kernel regression method. We establish some asymptotic properties of the EL estimators of the unkn...
متن کاملAnalyzing Data Sets with Missing Data: An Empirical Evaluation of Imputation Methods and Likelihood-Based Methods
ÐMissing data are often encountered in data sets used to construct effort prediction models. Thus far, the common practice has been to ignore observations with missing data. This may result in biased prediction models. In this paper, we evaluate four missing data techniques (MDTs) in the context of software cost modeling: listwise deletion (LD), mean imputation (MI), similar response pattern im...
متن کاملEmpirical likelihood inference in linear regression with nonignorable missing response
Parameter estimation for nonignorable nonresponse data is a challenging issue as the missing mechanism is unverified in practice and the parameters of response probabilities need to be estimated. This article aims at applying the empirical likelihood to construct the confidence intervals for the parameters of interest in linear regression models with nonignorable missing response data and the n...
متن کاملData Fusion Using Empirical Likelihood
The authors propose a robust semi-parametric empirical likelihood method to integrate all available information from multiple samples with a common center of measurements. Two different sets of estimating equations are used to improve the classical likelihood inference on the measurement center. The proposed method does not require the knowledge of the functional forms of the probability densit...
متن کاملHandling Missing Data by Maximum Likelihood
Multiple imputation is rapidly becoming a popular method for handling missing data, especially with easy-to-use software like PROC MI. In this paper, however, I argue that maximum likelihood is usually better than multiple imputation for several important reasons. I then demonstrate how maximum likelihood for missing data can readily be implemented with the following SAS procedures: MI, MIXED, ...
