Workshop on Methods for Missing Data: 15th and 16th September, London
A workshop on missing data with emphasis on sample selection models will take place in London in September. This workshop aims to provide an introduction to the issues raised by missing data with particular emphasis on missing not at random. The workshop is free but registration is required.
Who will benefit and how
This workshop provides a practical introduction to the use of a very flexible class of sample selection models which can be useful to analysts and quantitative researchers whose analyses are affected by missing not at random. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion with the course instructors on sample selection models (but not only) for analysing missing data, and help will be provided with interpreting results. Throughout, there will be a focus on the policy implications of missing data and potential solutions to this problem. The workshop will also be relevant for practitioners conducting surveys on topics which are likely to be affected by missing information, as we will discuss how to incorporate methods to adjust for data not missing at random into the way surveys are designed.
Summary of workshop
This workshop aims to:
• Provide an introduction to the issues raised by missing data with particular emphasis on missing
not at random;
• Briefly introduce ad-hoc methods and principled methods;
• Briefly introduce pattern mixture models;
• Introduce and discuss sample selection models;
• Illustrate the use of SemiParBIVProbit to deal with missing not at random;
• Case studies from DHS studies, ageing studies and cost effectiveness analyses.
