Parameters

Details

Missing rate

5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 30%, on behalf of the proportion of individuals with missing items

The proportion of unit non-response and fixed item non-response

0.2:0.8, 0.5:0.5, 0.8:0.2, on behalf of the probability

of two different missing patterns

Missing probabilities of the second-, fourth-, and sixth-week visits of the missing individuals

30%:30%:40%, baseline was not set for missing

Missing mechanisms

MCAR, MAR, MNAR

Monotonicity

Monotonic and non-monotonic
