Quasi-likelihood estimation of average treatment effects based on model information

In this paper, the estimation of average treatment effects is considered when we have the model information of the conditional mean and conditional variance for the responses given the covariates. The quasi-likelihood method adapted to treatment effects data is developed to estimate the parameters in the conditional mean and conditional variance models. Based on the model information, we define three estimators by imputation, regression and inverse probability weighted methods. All the estimators are shown asymptotically normal. Our simulation results show that by using the model information, the substantial efficiency gains are obtained which are comparable with the existing estimators.     

Data-driven local bandwidth selection for additive models with missing data

This paper deals in the nonparametric estimation of additive models in the presence of missing data in the response variable. Specifically in the case of additive models estimated by the Backfitting algorithm with local polynomial smoothers [1]. Three estimators are presented, one based on the available data and two based on a complete sample from imputation techniques. We also develop a data-driven local bandwidth selector based on a Wild Bootstrap approximation of the mean squared error of the estimators. The performance of the estimators and the local bootstrap bandwidth selection method are explored through simulation experiments.     

Weighted local polynomial estimations of a non-parametric function with censoring indicators missing at random and their applications

In this paper, we consider the weighted local polynomial calibration estimation and imputation estimation of a non-parametric function when the data are right censored and the censoring indicators are missing at random, and establish the asymptotic normality of these estimators. As their applications, we derive the weighted local linear calibration estimators and imputation estimations of the conditional distribution function, the conditional density function and the conditional quantile function, and investigate the asymptotic normality of these estimators. Finally, the simulation studies are conducted to illustrate the finite sample performance of the estimators.     

Imputation of mean of ratios for missing data and its application to PPSWR sampling

In practical survey sampling, nonresponse phenomenon is unavoidable. How to impute missing data is an important problem. There are several imputation methods in the literature. In this paper, the imputation method of the mean of ratios for missing data under uniform response is applied to the estimation of a finite population mean when the PPSWR sampling is used. The imputed estimator is valid under the corresponding response mechanism regardless of the model as well as under the ratio model regardless of the response mechanism. The approximately unbiased jackknife variance estimator is also presented. All of these results are extended to the case of non-uniform response. Simulation studies show the good performance of the proposed estimators.     

Hazard function estimation with cause-of-death data missing at random

Hazard function estimation is an important part of survival analysis. Interest often centers on estimating the hazard function associated with a particular cause of death. We propose three nonparametric kernel estimators for the hazard function, all of which are appropriate when death times are subject to random censorship and censoring indicators can be missing at random. Specifically, we present a regression surrogate estimator, an imputation estimator, and an inverse probability weighted estimator. All three estimators are uniformly strongly consistent and asymptotically normal. We derive asymptotic representations of the mean squared error and the mean integrated squared error for these estimators and we discuss a data-driven bandwidth selection method. A simulation study, conducted to assess finite sample behavior, demonstrates that the proposed hazard estimators perform relatively well. We illustrate our methods with an analysis of some vascular disease data.     

Sample rotation theory with missing data

This paper studies how the sample rotation method is applied to the case where item non-response occurs in surveys. The two cases where the response to the first occasion is complete or incomplete are considered. Using ratio imputation method, the estimators of the current population mean are proposed, which are valid under uniform response regardless of the model and under the ratio model regardless of the response mechanism. Under uniform response, the variances of the proposed estimators are derived. Interestingly, although their expressions are similar, the estimator for the case of incomplete response on the first occasion can have smaller variance than the one for the case of complete response on the first occasion under uniform response. The linearized jackknife variance estimators are also given. These variance estimators prove to be approximately design-unbiased under uniform response. It should be noted that similar property on variance estimators has not been discussed in literature.
