Missing Responses in Generalized Linear Mixed Models Where the Missingness is Nonignorable
… misspecified missing data models one can observe systemic bias in the regression estimators and also poor coverage probabilities from the confidence intervals. We conclude that when analyzing incomplete data with nonignorable missing responses, it is necessary to incorporate a suitable missing …
