Imputation Estimators Partially Correct for Model Misspecification
Inference problems with incomplete observations often aim at estimating population properties of unobserved quantities. One simple way to accomplish this estimation is to impute the unobserved quantities of interest at the individual level and then take an empirical average of the imputed values. We show that this simple imputation estimator can provide partial protection against model misspeci...
متن کاملInference for Imputation Estimators
We derive an estimator of the asymptotic variance of both single and multiple imputation estimators. We assume a parametric imputation model but allow for non-and semipara-metric analysis models. Our variance estimator, in contrast to the estimator proposed by Rubin (1987), is consistent even when the imputation and analysis models are misspecified and incompatible with one another.
متن کاملParimputation: From Imputation and Null-Imputation to Partially Imputation
process of machine learning and data mining when certain values are missed. Among extant imputation techniques, kNN imputation algorithm is the best one as it is a model free and efficient compared with other methods. However, the value of k must be chosen properly in using kNN imputation. In particular, when some nearest neighbors are far from a missing data, the kNN imputation algorithms are ...
متن کاملComparison of imputation variance estimators
Appropriate imputation inference requires both an unbiased imputation estimator and an unbiased variance estimator. The commonly used variance estimator, proposed by Rubin, can be biased when the imputation and analysis models are misspecified and/or incompatible. Robins and Wang proposed an alternative approach, which allows for such misspecification and incompatibility, but it is considerably...
متن کاملEstimators For Partially Observed Markov Chains
Suppose we observe a discrete-time Markov chain at certain periodic or random time points only. Which observation patterns allow us to identify the transition distribution? In case we can identify it, how can we construct (good) estimators? We discuss these questions both for nonparametric models and for linear autoregression.
