Adaptive confidence intervals with missing data
缺失数据下的自适应置信区间
We consider the construction of confidence intervals for population means when observations are subject to missingness. To accommodate more general missingness mechanisms than missing completely at random (MCAR), we adopt a reparametrised version of the realisable contamination model of Ma et al. (2026), which is a mixture of an MCAR version and a missing not at random version of the same base distribution $P$. We characterise the minimax length of confidence intervals that…
