Addressing MNAR in pediatric research is challenging due to the following reasons:
Complexity: Identifying and modeling MNAR mechanisms require sophisticated statistical techniques and a deep understanding of the underlying reasons for missing data. Ethical Issues: Researchers must balance the need for complete data with the ethical considerations of pushing participants to provide potentially sensitive information. Limited Tools: Standard software packages may not always have built-in capabilities to handle MNAR appropriately, necessitating custom solutions.
