Abstract
There has been growing interest in partial identification of probability distributions and parameters. This paper considers statistical inference on parameters that are partially identified because data are incompletely observed, due to nonresponse or censoring, for instance. A method based on likelihood ratios is proposed for constructing confidence sets for partially identified parameters. The method can be used to estimate a proportion or a mean in the presence of missing data, without assuming missing-at-random or modeling the missing-data mechanism. It can also be used to estimate a survival probability with censored data without assuming independent censoring or modeling the censoring mechanism. A version of the verification bias problem is studied as well.
