Exploring the Effectiveness of Imbalanced Data Correction Methods in Mixed Linear Regression Models

Introduction In recent years, the amount of data collected in various fields has grown rapidly, and machine learning algorithms have become increasingly popular for analyzing such data. However, a common issue faced when working with large datasets is class imbalance, where one class in the target variable is greatly outnumbered by the other. This imbalance …

From Outliers to Inliers: Robust Non-Parametric Regression with Median-of-Means

Regression analysis is a widely used statistical tool for predicting a continuous dependent variable based on one or more independent variables. However, traditional regression methods, such as linear and polynomial regression, can be sensitive to outliers and make incorrect predictions if the assumptions of normality and homoscedasticity are violated. To address these limitations, researchers have …

Multiple Imputation for Propensity Score Analysis with Covariates Missing at Random

Introduction Missing data is a common problem in statistical analysis, and can lead to biased or inefficient estimates if not handled properly. One method for dealing with missing data is multiple imputation, which involves creating multiple plausible values for the missing data and analyzing each imputed dataset separately, before combining the results. In this blog …
