This study estimates response probabilities for ordered categorical variables with missing data. A hybrid approach using isotonic regression and Gibbs sampling effectively balances efficiency and bias, outperforming other methods.

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Data Analysis

Background:

  • Analyzing ordered categorical variables with missing data presents statistical challenges.
  • Estimating response probabilities requires methods that account for variable ordering and missingness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and compare methods for estimating cell-specific response probabilities for a binary outcome with two ordered categorical predictors, accommodating missing values.
  • To incorporate order restrictions into the estimation process for improved efficiency and reduced bias.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized Gibbs sampling with order-restricted priors, two-dimensional isotonic regression, and multiple imputation.
  • Compared Bayesian approaches, isotonic regression, and a hybrid method in a simulation study.

  • Applied methods to a pancreatic cancer case-control study involving two biomarkers.

    • Main Results:

    • Fully Bayesian methods with strong priors offered efficiency gains but risked bias.
    • Isotonic regression provided modest efficiency gains while ensuring order constraints and minimizing bias.
    • A hybrid approach combining isotonic regression and Gibbs sampling demonstrated robust performance across various scenarios.

    Conclusions:

    • The hybrid isotonic regression and Gibbs sampling method is recommended for its balance of efficiency, bias control, and adherence to order constraints.
    • Accurate estimation of response probabilities in complex categorical data is crucial for applications like biomarker studies in disease research.
