متن کاملWorking With Missing Values
Less than optimum strategies for missing values can produce biased estimates, distorted statistical power, and invalid conclusions. After reviewing traditional approaches (listwise, pairwise, and mean substitution), selected alternatives are covered including single imputation,multiple imputation, and full information maximum likelihood estimation. The effects of missing values are illustratedf...
