Missing data is a reality of empirical sciences and can rarely be prevented entirely. It is often assumed that incomplete data are missing completely at random (MCAR) or missing at random (MAR), When neither MCAR nor MAR, missingness is said to be Not MAR (NMAR). Under MAR, there are two main approaches to inference, likelihood/Bayesian…
In game-theoretic formulations of prediction problems, a strategy makes a decision, observes an outcome and pays a loss. The aim is to minimize the regret, which is the amount by which the total loss incurred exceeds the total loss of the best decision in hindsight. This talk will focus on the minimax optimal strategy, which…
