Parameter estimation is a crucial problem, especially in the presence of missing values in the dataset. This paper proposes a novel algorithm that directly finds the maximum likelihood estimates for randomly missing datasets without the need for imputation preprocessing. The empirical results demonstrate the superior estimation performance and lower time consumption of the proposed algorithm.
Parameter estimation is an important problem with applications in discriminant analysis, hypothesis testing, etc. Yet, when there are missing values in the data sets, commonly used imputation-based techniques are usually needed before further parameter estimation since works in direct parameter estimation exists in only limited settings. Unfortunately, such two-step procedures (imputation parameter estimation) can be computationally expensive. Therefore, it motivates us to propose novel algorithms that directly find the maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) for an arbitrary oneclass/multiple-class randomly missing data set under some mild assumptions. Furthermore, due to the direct computation, our algorithms do not require multiple iterations through the data, thus promising to be less time-consuming while maintaining superior estimation performance than state-of-the-art methods under comparisons. We validate these claims by empirical results on various data sets of different sizes.(c) 2021 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
