Hot Deck imputation for multivariate missing data
Fractional hot deck imputation, considered in Fuller and Kim (2005), is extended to multivariate missing data. The joint distribution of the study items is nonparametrically estimated using a discrete approximation, where the discrete transformation also serves to define imputation cells. The procedure first estimates the probabilities for the cells and then imputes real observations for missin...
متن کاملMissing data imputation in multivariable time series data
Multivariate time series data are found in a variety of fields such as bioinformatics, biology, genetics, astronomy, geography and finance. Many time series datasets contain missing data. Multivariate time series missing data imputation is a challenging topic and needs to be carefully considered before learning or predicting time series. Frequent researches have been done on the use of diffe...
متن کاملMultiple imputation for missing data: fully conditional specification versus multivariate normal imputation.
Statistical analysis in epidemiologic studies is often hindered by missing data, and multiple imputation is increasingly being used to handle this problem. In a simulation study, the authors compared 2 methods for imputation that are widely available in standard software: fully conditional specification (FCS) or "chained equations" and multivariate normal imputation (MVNI). The authors created ...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation for Missing Data
Multiple imputation provides a useful strategy for dealing with data sets with missing values. Instead of filling in a single value for each missing value, Rubin’s (1987) multiple imputation procedure replaces each missing value with a set of plausible values that represent the uncertainty about the right value to impute. These multiply imputed data sets are then analyzed by using standard proc...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation for Multivariate Missing-Data Problems: A Data Analyst's Perspective.
Analyses of multivariate data are frequently hampered by missing values. Until recently, the only missing-data methods available to most data analysts have been relatively ad1 hoc practices such as listwise deletion. Recent dramatic advances in theoretical and computational statistics, however, have produced anew generation of flexible procedures with a sound statistical basis. These procedures...
