Abstract

We discussed how to handle missing binary data clinical trials. Patterns of occurring missing data are discussed and introduce missing binary data imputation methods that include the modified method. A simulation is performed by modifying actual data for each method. The condition of this simulation is controlled by a response rate and a missing value rate. We list the simulation results for each method and discussed them at the end of this paper.

임상시험에서 흔히 발생하는 결측치 중 이분형 결측치에 대한 논의를 하였다. 본 논문에서는 결측치가 발생하는 기재를 논의하고 기존의 여러 이분형 결측치 대체 방법과 수정된 결측치 대체방법을 소개하였다. 이후 각 결측치 대체 방법을 실제 자료에 적용하여 모의 실험을 진행하였다. 실제 자료의 성격 및 결측률의 변화에 따른 결측치 대체 방법들의 성능비교를 통해 진행하였다. 마지막으로 각 결측치 대체 방법에 대한 모의 실험 결과를 요약하고 토의하였다.
