Accordingly, it is widely recommended to impute missing values rather than performing a complete subject analysis [ 20].

We therefore used the technique of multiple imputation to substitute missing values rather than exclude these patients as this is a less biased approach that makes the most efficient use of available data.

In comparison with earlier work on treating incomplete high-throughput datasets (Oba et al., 2003; Scholz et al., 2005), our aim is not to estimate the missing values, but rather to improve the estimation of the model parameters from the incomplete datasets.
