From 0a0ac2e875134ff0d0564df215627f76ac44af59 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: openhands Date: Wed, 10 Sep 2025 04:20:34 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Fix GitHub issue #32: Remove inconsistent missing data handling MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Remove problematic conditional block in vim-factors.R (lines 181-186) - Fix inconsistent behavior where cleanup only ran with <10 missing values - Allow proper delta missingness estimation as intended by TODO comment - Add comprehensive tests to reproduce and verify the fix The bug caused TMLE estimation to fail when there were ≥10 missing Y values because the cleanup code wouldn't run, leaving missing values in the data. This fix ensures consistent behavior regardless of missing value count.
