Description: (details here)

• The two-day workshop will discuss different forms of missing data, attendant problems and various solutions.  The presentation will include lectures in the morning session (in B&E 148) and computer lab sessions in the afternoon (in B&E 105).  The basic principles of missing data will be covered, as well as how to address the problem theoretically and practically using various software solutions. Emphasis will be on acquiring a practical understanding for applied researchers.
• Participants should have a basic knowledge of data manipulation and analysis in Stata (or similar software), including generating variables and running common regression models for continuous and binary data.
