Abstract:

This research proposes estimation methods for regression models with covariances missing in arbitrary nonmonotonic patterns. It explains the idea of using a sequence of parametric working models to extract information from incomplete observations and computing efficient estimates of regression parameters. The proposal is general and can be applied to analysis for regression models with arbitrary nonmonotonic missing data patterns. We use simulation studies and an analysis of a real data example to illustrate the proposed method.
