-
Minor fixes and improvements in documentation of functions
-
Included re-exports of naniar's
gg_miss_upset
and mice'smd.pattern
functions to explore missing data patterns. -
New function
smdi_style_gt()
to make publication-ready tables based on objects of class smdi in combination with thegt()
package. -
Added more details to Routine structural missing data diagnostics vignette.
-
Updated
README
with more details and guidance on how to interpret the three group diagnostics and apply those to a real-world study. -
Some improved documentation here and there.
-
smdi_asmd()
, and consequently alsosmdi_diagnose()
, now also outputs the minimum (min) and maximum (max) absolute standardized mean difference (asmd) in addition to the mean/median to provide more comprehensive information about the asmd range without having to look at each asmd plot individually. -
In case of monotone missing data patterns, we observed unreasonably high AUC values for the Group 2 diagnostic which was caused by other partially observed covariates being almost perfect linear predictors of missingness. The new version has an in-built mechanism to prompt a message if AUCs are very high (> 0.9). The prompt also gives additional details about the covariate for which this behavior was observed and the strongest predictor based on the mean decrease in accuracy. In case of monotonicity this typically another partially observed covariate which would then be flagged with a “_NA” suffix. Based on the prompt, the analyst can then decide if this variable should be better dropped for the smdi diagnostics.
-
To address issues and learning around multivariate missing data and handling of monotone missing data patterns in
smdi
, an additional vignette onMultivariate missingness and monotonicity
was added. -
Change of colors in plots produced by
smdi_rf()
