Estimates disease prevalence using non-ignorable missing data in health surveys.

problem Estimating disease prevalence in non-representative samples with non-ignorable missing data.
method Connects auxiliary proxy variable framework to label shift setting, uses high-dimensional covariates without generative models.
result Fails to account for non-ignorable missingness can lead to significant misestimations.

Ranked data appear in many different applications, including voting and consumer surveys. There often exhibits a situation in which data are partially ranked. Partially ranked data is thought of as missing data. This paper addresses parameter estimation for partially ranked data under a (possibly) non-ignorable missing…

Two methods use BART to model missing data in leaf photosynthetic trait data.

problem Handling missing data in multivariate outcomes with non-ignorable mechanisms.
method Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) for joint modeling of data and missingness indicators.
result Both methods effectively recover various missingness mechanisms and outperform existing approaches.

Bayes predictor remains robust to ignorable missingness shifts.

problem Challenges in prediction with missing covariates and shifts in missingness reasons.
method Bayesian approach and different prediction methods.
result Bayes predictor remains unchanged by ignorable shifts, but robust prediction requires disregarding missingness for non-ignorable shifts.

Estimates classification rules from partially classified data.

problem Estimating Bayes' rule for unclassified observations in partially classified data.
method Fitting a g-component mixture model by maximum likelihood (ML) via the EM algorithm.
result Asymptotic relative efficiency (ARE) of Bayes' rule estimated from partially classified samples.

SSLfmm package improves semi-supervised learning by incorporating informative missingness in finite mixture models.

problem Improving semi-supervised learning with informative missingness in datasets.
method Estimates Bayes' classifier under a finite mixture model with MCAR and MAR missingness mechanisms.
result The classifier trained on partially labelled data can achieve lower misclassification rates than supervised methods.
