Bayesian Multiple Imputation and Maximum Likelihood Methods for Missing Data
نویسنده
چکیده
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 simulation is conducted to compare the performances of the methods.

Multiple Imputation in Multivariate Problems When the Imputation and Analysis Models Differ
Bayesian multiple imputation (MI) has become a highly useful paradigm for handling missing values in many settings. In this paper, I compare Bayesian MI with other methods – maximum likelihood, in particular—and point out some of its unique features. One key aspect of MI, the separation of the imputation phase from the analysis phase, can be advantageous in settings where the models underlying ...
متن کاملA note on the relationships between multiple imputation, maximum likelihood and fully Bayesian methods for missing responses in linear regression models.
Multiple Imputation, Maximum Likelihood and Fully Bayesian methods are the three most commonly used model-based approaches in missing data problems. Although it is easy to show that when the responses are missing at random (MAR), the complete case analysis is unbiased and efficient, the aforementioned methods are still commonly used in practice for this setting. To examine the performance of an...

Background and Objectives: A major challenge that affects the longitudinal studies is the problem of missing data. Missing in the data may result in the loss of part of the information which reduces the accuracy of the estimator and obtain the results will be biased and inaccurate. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the missing data mechanism from a longitudinal research and to consider thi...
متن کاملInfluence of Pattern of Missing Data on Performance of Imputation Methods: An Example from National Data on Drug Injection in Prisons
Background Policy makers need models to be able to detect groups at high risk of HIV infection. Incomplete records and dirty data are frequently seen in national data sets. Presence of missing data challenges the practice of model development. Several studies suggested that performance of imputation methods is acceptable when missing rate is moderate. One of the issues which was of less concern...

Background and Aim: Logistic regression is an analytic tool widely used in medical and epidemiologic research. In many studies, we face data sets in which some of the data are not recorded. A simple way to deal with such "missing data" is to simply ignore the subjects with missing observations, and perform the analysis on cases for which complete data are available. Materials and Methods: We c...
