Multiple Imputation and Bootstrapping - Method MI_boot

2021-09-23

Introduction

This page contains information of the MI_boot method that is implemented in the psfmi package and that combines Multiple Imputation with bootstrapping for the validation of logistic regression / prediction models. Internal validation is always done of the last model that is selected by the function psfmi_lr. An explanation and examples of how to use the methods can be found below.

Method MI_boot

With this method bootstrap samples are drawn from each multiply imputed dataset. The same cases are drawn in each imputed dataset. The pooled model is analyzed in the each bootstrap training data and subsequently tested in original multiply imputed data. The method can be performed in combination with backward or forward selection.

How these steps work is visualized in the Figure below.

Method MI_boot

internal validation is done of the last model that is selected by the function psfmi_lr. In the example below, psfmi_lr is used with p.crit set at 1. This setting is also used in the psfmi_validate function. This means that first the full model is pooled and subsequently interval validation is done of the full model.

library(psfmi)
pool_lr <- psfmi_lr(data=lbpmilr, formula = Chronic ~ Pain + JobDemands + rcs(Tampascale, 3) +
                   factor(Satisfaction) + Smoking, p.crit = 1, direction="FW",
                 nimp=5, impvar="Impnr", method="D1")

set.seed(200)
res <- psfmi_validate(pool_lr, val_method = "MI_boot", nboot = 5, p.crit=1)

Method MI_boot including BW selection

Internal validation is done of the last model that is selected by the function psfmi_lr. In the example below, psfmi_lr is used with p.crit set at 1, and pooling is than done without variable selection, i.e. the full model is pooled. When subsequently interval validation is done with the psfmi_validate function including BW, BW is applied in each bootstrap sample from the full model.

library(psfmi)
pool_lr <- psfmi_lr(data=lbpmilr, formula = Chronic ~ Pain + JobDemands + rcs(Tampascale, 3) +
                   factor(Satisfaction) + Smoking, p.crit = 1, direction="FW",
                 nimp=5, impvar="Impnr", method="D1")

set.seed(200)
res <- psfmi_validate(pool_lr, val_method = "MI_boot", nboot = 5, p.crit=0.05, direction = "BW")
