Member Training: Missing Data

Missing data causes a lot of problems in data analysis. Unfortunately, some of the “solutions” for missing data cause more problems than they solve.

In this overview, you’ll learn the big picture of the concepts, challenges, and solutions of missing data.

• The goals of a good missing data approach
• The three missing data mechanisms and why they’re so important
• Common situations where missing data arises and their specific challenges
• Related data issues that share some of the same challenges and solutions
• The four main approaches to dealing with missing data and when each one does and doesn’t work

Note: This training is an exclusive benefit to members of the Statistically Speaking Membership Program and part of the Stat’s Amore Trainings Series. Each Stat’s Amore Training is approximately 90 minutes long.
