ADP - SOCIAL SCIENCE DATA ARCHIVES

Led by Dr James Carpenter, a Reader in Medical and Social Statistics at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (University of London), the key topics covered will be: Introduction, issues raised by missing data, and towards a systematic approach; Issues raised by missing data in experimental research, and shortcomings of ad-hoc methods; Introduction to multiple imputation; Further issues in multiple imputation; Sensitivity analysis; Inverse probability weighting and doubly robust estimation. Workshops will enable participants to put the learned methods into practice and will use the Stata (80%) and Mlwin (20%) packages.
Participants on this course must have prior statistical knowledge covering inference and linear regression modelling (up to the level of the CASS course on ‘Introduction to Linear Regression Modelling' for example).
