On the Joys of Missing Data


In this talk, I will outline the three mechanisms that can give rise to missing data. I will then highlight how the modern principled approaches to treating missing data are able to recover power and reverse selective bias due to attrition and nonresponse. I will then blow your mind by introducing a number of planned missing data designs that save on costs, minimize burden, reduce test-reactivity, and increase validity.
