miss.total.process {imp4p}

Estimating the missing data mechanism in a sample.

Description

This function allows estimating the missing data mechanism, i.e. the probability to be missing in function of the intensity level, from an estimation of a mixture model of MNAR and MCAR values (see estim.mix function).

Usage

miss.total.process(abs,pi_na,F_na,F_tot)

Arguments

abs

The interval on which is estimated the missing data mechanism.

pi_na

The proportion of missing values.

F_na

An estimation of the cumulative distribution function of the missing values on the interval abs.

F_tot

An estimation of the cumulative distribution function of the complete values on the interval abs.

Value

A list composed of:

abs

The interval on which is estimated the missing data mechanism.

p

The estimated probability to be missing in function of the intensity level.
