Имеет ли метод индикаторной переменной преимущества перед анализом полных наблюдений при обработке пропусков в категориальных регрессорах?

If missingness is encountered in a categorical regressor, which approach is preferable: complete case analysis or the missing-indicator method? The former approach implies including in analysis (linear regression in our research) only the cases without missingness across analyzed variables. This approach is embedded in many statistical applications by default, and despite the opinion that its applicability is rather restricted, up-to-date studies provide evidence for its wide applicability – even to missingness not at random. The missing-indicator method, according to which missing data are replaced with a single valid value and a new missing-indicator variable is created, pretends to be an alternative that keeps a full sample available for analysis and, hypothetically, does not lead to the deterioration of parameter estimates. By means of simulated data and a statistical experiment, controlling the factors of missingness mechanism, missingness proportion, and a regression model’s specification, we compare parameter estimates produced by each approach to handling missingness – how biased and inefficient they are. According to the results, no approach leads to crucially biased estimates, but the missing-indicator method produces ineffective estimates.

Polarization of opinions in the group: a modeling algorithm considering the dynamics of social bonds
Chebotarev V., Andreyuk D., Elizarova Anastasiya et al., Procedia Computer Science 2022 Vol. 213 No. C P. 596–601
The dynamics of opinion in a group are of interest for a number of practical purposes. In particular, consensus helps and polarization of opinions hinders cohesive teamwork. Existing approaches for modeling opinion dynamics mostly do not take into account the dynamism of social relations in a group. This paper proposes an algorithm and a program ...

Social reality is undergoing rapid transformations, giving rise to new challenges for both social theory and practice. One of these much-discussed challenges is the so-called replicability crisis, a notion that describes the failure of the social sciences and humanities to verify established research findings with new empirical investigations. In the related debates, it is argued ...

Статья посвящена изучению транзита к родительству молодых матерей в миграции с фокусом на особенности социальных взаимодействий. Поскольку обстоятельство миграции усложняет период транзита к родительству, то основной проблемой молодых матерей становится адаптация к новой жизни в качестве и родителя, и мигранта одновременно. Важными аспектами адаптации в миграции и в родительстве — поддержание привычных социальных взаимодействий и ...

Научная элита рассматривается не как совокупность выдающихся исследователей, а как структурный эффект производства знания — позиция в пространстве науки, концентрирующая максимальный объем научного капитала и задающая смысловой горизонт для всех агентов. Пространство науки трактуется как многомерное ...

A syntagm is understood as an event-operation that exists only in its performance and simultaneously binds material, semiotic, and pragmatic registers.
