- Differential equations-based kinetic modeling is an alternative means of capturing the rich dynamics of signaling networks [ 28 29 ] . As time-resolved data sets become available and feedback loops are delineated, it may be necessary to use these methods to understand system dynamics and control [ 30 ] . However, the authors agree with Genoud et. [W1,F1,I1,I2]: 1.00

- MAR means that the probability of missing depends only on observed variables [ 3 ] . Four strategies for examining the bias or sensitivity of results when MAR does not hold are to ( i ) fit all saturated MAR and non-MAR missing-data models [ 4 5 ] , ( ii ) add a parameter to various MAR models to make them non-MAR and test if the fit is significantly improved [ 6 7 ] , ( iii ) impute the missing data in one arm using the observed proportion of events in the other arm [ 8 9 ] , ( iv ) estimate results under a non-MAR missing-data mechanism with key parameters specified by the investigator [ 1 10 ] - [ 13 ] . We propose a variation of method ( iv ) for randomized trials with binary outcome that explicitly uses the randomization distribution to reduce user input. [W1,F1,I1,I2]: 1.00
