The paper then briefly considers eight different approaches to handling missing data so as to minimise that damage, their underlying assumptions and the likely costs and benefits. These approaches include complete case analysis, complete variable analysis, single imputation, multiple imputation, maximum ...
Main conclusions Imputation can effectively handle missing data under some conditions, but is not always the best solution. None of the methods we tested could effectively deal with severe biases, which may be common in trait datasets. We recommend rigorous data checking for biases before and ...
I am wondering how missing data like this can be handled when conducting a hotspot analysis? I should add that some of the missing tracts are missing because we either do not have any of our health plan members living in those tracts (so a 'denominator' of zero, th...
I have scattered missing data cells throughout my dataset but do not plan on any systematic imputation/prediction to fill them in – so it’s unbalanced here and there. I’m running consistency tests (cronbach’s alpha) but the issue may apply to other functions. If a data input range in...

Figure out why the data is missing This is the point at which we get into the part of data science that I like to call "data intution", by which I mean "really looking at your data and trying to figure out why it is the way it is and how that will affect your analysis"....
This chapter provides an overview of the topic of missing data. We introduce the main types of missing data that can occur in practice and discuss the practical consequences of each of these types for general data analysis. We then describe general and practical solutions to the problem of miss...
The interventional effects approach to causal mediation analysis is increasingly common in epidemiologic research given its potential to address policy-relevant questions about hypothetical mediator interventions. Multiple imputation is widely used for handling multivariable missing data in epidemiologic studies. ...
This paper presents an overview of considerations that need to be made when confrontedwith missing data. We describe how to efficiently check for missing values, as well as investigate how SAS handlesmissing values and what can be done to correct for these missing values in your analysis.Theresa...
