Missing Not At Random (MNAR) values lead to significant biases in the data, since the probability of missingness depends on the unobserved values.They are ''not ignorable'' in the sense that they often require defining a model for the…
Missing data are pervasive in modern functional datasets, where trajectories are often sparsely or irregularly observed. Although Functional Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) is widely used to reconstruct incomplete curves, existing…
