Abstract

A dataset having missing observations is often completed by using imputed values. In this paper the performances and accuracy of complete case methods and four imputation procedures are evaluated when missing values exist only on the response variables in the Weibull regression model. Our simulation results show that compared to other imputation procedures, in particular, hotdeck and Weibull regression imputation procedure can be well used to compensate for missing data. In addition an illustrative real data is given.
