Title: | Sensitivity analysis for incomplete continuous data | Authors: | Poleto, Frederico Z. MOLENBERGHS, Geert Paulino, Carlos Daniel Singer, Julio M. |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Publisher: | SPRINGER | Source: | TEST, 20(3), p. 589-606 | Abstract: | Models for missing data are necessarily based on untestable assumptions whose effect on the conclusions are usually assessed via sensitivity analysis. To avoid the usual normality assumption and/or hard-to-interpret sensitivity parameters proposed by many authors for such purposes, we consider a simple approach for estimating means, standard deviations and correlations. We do not make distributional assumptions and adopt a pattern-mixture model parameterization which has easily interpreted sensitivity parameters. We use the so-called estimated ignorance and uncertainty intervals to summarize the results and illustrate the proposal with a practical example. We present results for both the univariate and the multivariate cases. | Notes: | [Poleto, Frederico Z.; Singer, Julio M.] Univ Sao Paulo, Inst Matemat & Estatist, BR-05314970 Sao Paulo, Brazil.
