Abstract:
|
Many methods for handling missing data have been proposed in the literature. In a large survey with a complex design involving stratification and clustering, what methods work best and why? There are several ideas that can be considered. What are the next steps that are needed to critically evaluate options in real applications? The roundtable discussion will concentrate on these questions to generate an exchange of ideas.
