How much missing data is too much to impute for longitudinal health indicators? A preliminary guideline for the choice of the extent of missing proportion to impute with multiple i... by K. P. Junaid, Tanvi Kiran, Madhu Gupta, Kamal Kishore, Sujata Siwatch

“…The robustness of MICE was assessed through three approaches: comparison of means using the Repeated Measures- Analysis of variance, estimation of evaluation metrics (Root mean square error, mean absolute deviation, Bias, and proportionate variance), and visual inspection of box plots of imputed and non-imputed data. Results The Repeated Measures- Analysis of variance revealed significant differences between complete and imputed data, primarily in imputed data with over 50% missing proportions. …”
