Overview
What you will study
Missing data frequently occurs in both observational and experimental research. They lead to a loss of statistical power, but more importantly, may introduce bias into the analysis. In this course we adopt a principled approach to handling missing data, in which the first step is a careful consideration of suitable assumptions regarding the missing data for a given study. Based on this, appropriate statistical methods can be identified that are valid under the chosen assumptions. The Statistical analysis with missing data course offered by London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine 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 which combine these with MI.
Programme Structure
The program focuses on:
- the issues raised by missing data, and the associated statistical jargon (missing completely at random, missing at random, missing not at random)
- illustrate the shortcomings of ad-hoc methods for 'handling' missing data
- multiple imputation for statistical analysis with missing data
- compare and contrast this with other methods, in particular inverse probability weighting and doubly robust methods, and
- accessible methods for exploring the sensitivity of inference to the missing at random assumption
