Modern data acquisition based on high-throughput technology is often facing the problem of missing data. Algorithms commonly used in the analysis of such large-scale data often depend on a complete set. Missing value imputation offers a solution to this problem. However, the majority of available imputation methods are…

Study compares traditional and machine learning methods for handling missing data in longitudinal studies.
problem Handling missing Not at Random (MNAR) and nonnormal data in longitudinal research.
method Monte Carlo simulations to assess six missing data techniques.
result FIML is most effective for MNAR data, while TSRE excels for MAR data.
Random forest (RF) missing data algorithms are an attractive approach for dealing with missing data. They have the desirable properties of being able to handle mixed types of missing data, they are adaptive to interactions and nonlinearity, and they have the potential to scale to big data settings. Currently there are …
Missing data is an expected issue when large amounts of data is collected, and several imputation techniques have been proposed to tackle this problem. Beneath classical approaches such as MICE, the application of Machine Learning techniques is tempting. Here, the recently proposed missForest imputation method has show…
