Bayesian Model Averaging with Missing Data
Bayesian Model Averaging with missing data (BMA-MD) simultaneously addresses two sources of uncertainty: which model best describes the data, and what the unobserved values are. Rather than selecting a single imputed dataset and a single model, the approach averages predictions across the full space of candidate models and plausible completions of the missing values, propagating both sources of uncertainty into every estimate and prediction.
