first step in dealing with missing data is to assess the type and amount of missing data for each field. Consider whether there is a pattern as to why data might be missing. This can help determine if missing values could have affected responses. Only then can we decide how to handle it...
This paper briefly outlines the causes of missing data in survey-based research as well as the common remedial techniques available to researchers. The paper also reviews how the common statistical software programs namely PASW (SPSS), SAS, LISREL, AMOS, EQS, and PLS handle missing data. It ...
