Abstract:

Nonignorable missing data occur frequently in longitudinal studies. Estimation bias may arise if a missing mechanism is misspecified. To address this issue, we introduce a mixed-effects estimating equation approach, which enables one to recover missing information from the measurement process and the missing process simultaneously. The proposed method proves consistency and asymptotic normality of the fixed-effect estimation under shared-parameter models and an extended shared-parameter model. In simulation studies, we show the effectiveness of the proposed method under different missing mechanisms in conjunction with robustness against model assumption violation. In addition, it is applied to the election poll survey data from 2007-2008 Associated Press-Yahoo! News which involves multiple refreshment samples.
