Abstract:
|
Nonresponses are very common in health surveys and clinical trials, leading to inefficient estimation of the key parameters of interest or even biased estimation when the missingness is not random. Collecting additional data from the initial nonrespondents has been proposed. We study the benefits of collecting additional data from the initial nonrespondents using some simulation studies. Our analyses show significant gain of continuing data collection in nonrespondents; however, cautions are needed in dealing with the additional data collected from the nonrespondents. We apply the methods to a dataset from a Quality of Life study.
