Handling missing data in administrative studies: multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting

Course Summary

This ADRC-E course will
consider the issues raised by missing data (both item and unit non-response) in
studies using routinely collected data, for example electronic health records.
Following a review of the issues raised by missing data, we will focus on two
methods of analysis: multiple imputation and inverse probability weighting. We
will also discuss how they can be used together. The concepts will be
illustrated with medical and social data examples.

Target Audience

The
course is aimed at quantitative researchers, who have an interest or experience
in analysing administrative data. PhD students are also welcome. Detailed
technical arguments will not be presented; instead the focus will be on
concepts and examples, with participants encouraged to bring their own data for
discussion.

This
course includes computer workshops, using the statistical software package
Stata. Full details of all commands will be given, so no previous experience
with Stata is necessary, though it will inevitably be an advantage.

Pre-requisites

Practical
experience using regression modelling (including survival data modelling) and
preferably multilevel modelling.
