Missing values in electronic health record (EHR) data pose a significant challenge for epidemiologic research. Traditional methods for handling missing data, like mean imputation, may introduce bias. Multiple imputation (MI) offers a…

We consider the task of identifying and estimating a parameter of interest in settings where data is missing not at random (MNAR). In general, such parameters are not identified without strong assumptions on the missing data model. In this…

When estimating a regression model, we might have data where some labels are missing, or our data might be biased by a selection mechanism. When the response or selection mechanism is ignorable (i.e., independent of the response variable…
