ITT analysis of randomized encouragement design studies with missing data.
In this paper, we considered a missing outcome problem in causal inferences for a randomized encouragement design study. We proposed both moment and maximum likelihood estimators for the marginal distributions of potential outcomes and the local complier average causal effect (CACE) parameter. We illustrated our methods in a randomized encouragement design study on the effectiveness of flu shots.
