AIPW for nonmonotone missing data #55

Open pzivich opened 5 years ago

pzivich commented 5 years ago

IPMW handles only monotone missing data (only a single variable with missing data). This is fine but data missing for multiple variable simultaneously is more common in practice. There has been a recent proposal to use an AIPW to correct for missing data (under the MAR assumption)

Papers say it is easy to implement with existing software. Will have to see how true this is...

Will require the renaming of the current AIPWto AIPTW (something I have been meaning to do)
