Abstract:
|
Missing information is one of the main methodological problems in longitudinal studies, including longitudinal fMRI (L-fMRI) studies. One drawback with available methods for analyzing L-fMRI data is the exclusion of subjects with missing information, which may result in biased estimates and loss of power. One approach to this problem is to impute the missing information to obtain a completed dataset. Our goal with this study was to adapt available imputation methods to a setting with L-fMRI data, where some subjects had missing observations at follow-up. We applied these imputation methods to a real dataset, and further evaluated the methods in a simulation study.
