And also magically deciding on tighter bounds instead of trying to use actual auxiliary data to inform such bounds seems… exactly like “making shit up”!

Finally read the paper and 100% agree to all of this. It’s Manksi suggesting pollsters use the Manski bounds (shocking) which are useless in the polling context!

A hot-deck multiple imputation procedure for gaps in longitudinal recurrent event histories - PubMed We propose a regression-based hot-deck multiple imputation method for gaps of missing data in longitudinal studies, where subjects experience a recurrent event process and a terminal event.

Could you impute the missing/might be 0 vector from fully observed cases who have similar pattern of yes responses for the observed time points?

Great resource, thanks for sharing! Was looking for something to share with students who need a solid, hands-on intro, and this is perfect.

Seeing this on the same day I heard Jump on the radio for the first time in… a long time… has made my day. Laughed out loud. Thank you!

Same situation for me — PO said they had to wait until the budget was approved…. Likely you’re in the same boat?

Excellent point

Amazing. I’m either a person with a cat or just a cat. So, kinda accurate I guess? (This was fun, thanks bluesky peeps)

I do like Hand’s renames, don’t tell my statistical parent

I agree - MNAR is soooooooooo much better than NMAR. Rod’s been making that swap for a long time, well before the latest edition of the book.

Now I just hear “what is this enticing bowl of white?” in my head

How much cheese is too much cheese?
