New RAY method tackles nonmonotone missing data in statistical inference

Researchers have developed a new statistical method called the Restricted ANOVA hierarchY (RAY) to address challenges in parameter estimation and inference when dealing with nonmonotone missing data. This method provides a computable approximation to efficient estimators by revealing a hierarchical structure within the data. The RAY estimator is designed to be unbiased with arbitrary imputation functions and can achieve theoretical efficiency bounds under certain conditions, with an adaptive version offering further improvements. Its applicability extends to general Z-estimation problems and has been demonstrated in simulations and a single-cell multi-omics study. AI
