This paper aims to apply MIRL to logistic regressions in order to deal with classification problem with incomplete high-dimensional predictors. The missing completely at random pattern is considered. Extensive simulation studies are conducted to compare MIRL-logistic with its several alternatives. The result shows that MIRL-logistic has an improved accuracy on both outcome prediction and variable selection performance in high-dimensional scenarios. Especially, the proposed method performs well when the correlation among the predictors is high. Comments:
