Statistical Analysis with Missing Data

May 16 and 17, 2011
Kathy Welch and Brady West

Course Content

• Statistical Analysis with Missing Data will address the following issues:

  • Types of nonresponse and missing data mechanisms          
  • Simple approaches: Complete case and available case
  • Weighting methods for unit nonresponse                 
  • Imputation methods for item nonresponse
  • Model-Based methods                                                         
  • Longitudinal analysis and attrition
  • Implementing methods using statistical software     
  • Applications to survey data

There will also be hands-on computer lab sessions to implement missing data methods on real data sets.

Instructors

Brady West is a statistical consultant at CSCAR, and consults on statistical methods for analyzing data sets with missing data in addition to conducting research on missing data methods as a doctoral student in the Michigan Program in Survey Methodology.

Kathy Welch is a Statistical Consultant and primary SAS Consultant for CSCAR.  She consults at CSCAR on linear regression, Poisson regression, and analysis of cluster or longitudinal data, as well as other topics.  Kathy also teaches a course in statistical computing for the School of Public Health, and workshops on SAS for CSCAR and various academic departments and public agencies.

Audience

Anyone interested in modern methods for handling nonresponse and missing data in statistical analysis. This workshop will emphasize concepts and applications over technical details, but will presume a familiarity with basic statistical concepts, including probability distributions, estimation, maximum likelihood and regression.
