Overview
What you will study
Missing data are ubiquitous in observational and experimental research. They lead to a loss of statistical power, but more importantly, may introduce bias into the analysis.
The Statistical Analysis with Missing Data course offered by University of Bern will focus particularly on the practical use of multiple imputation (MI) to handle missing data in realistic epidemiological and clinical trial settings, but will also include an introduction to inverse probability weighting methods and new developments that combine these with MI.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- be introduced to the issues raised by missing data, and the associated statistical jargon (missing completely at random, missing at random, missing not at random)
- be aware of the shortcomings of ad-hoc methods for 'handling' missing data
- understand the reasons for using multiple imputation for statistical analysis with missing data
- understand the need for and use accessible methods for exploring the sensitivity of inference to the missing at random assumption
