False-negative results lead to missed treatment and subsequently to more advanced disease or, if occurring after praziquantel treatment, may lead to overestimated cure rates and potentially undetected cases of praziquantel resistance and the spread of the disease.
The clustering results lead to several observations.
This different handling of missing observations led to the slightly different results seen across data sources.
An additional 24 children were excluded because of missing hemoglobin results, which led to a total of 858 children included in the final analysis.
Mutations resulting in missing exons can lead to the wrong proteins being produced, or none at all.
What they missed led the police to their flat and resulted in their arrest.
The results of this analysis indicate that scoring PAM surveys with missing responses may lead to substantial measurement error, ranging from as low as 2.5% to as high as 44%, depending on the number of missing items.
Secondly, the presence of missing data may lead to biased estimates of regression parameters and weaken generalisability of our results.
In our study we compensated for missing blood lead test results < 10 μg/dL by censoring.
Not only did this make the processes somewhat hit and miss, it also led to great variability in both the flavor and the quality of the resulting products.
