We are pleased to announce the publication of a new book on missing data for non-statisticians. Missing Data: Analysis and Design was written by John Graham, Professor of Biobehavioral Health at Penn State and Factulty Affiliate of The Methodology Center. The objective of the book is to enable investigators to implement modern missing data procedures properly in their research, and reap the benefits in terms of improved accuracy and statistical power.
The author lays out missing data theory in a plain English style that is accessible and precise. Most analyses described in the book are conducted using the well-known statistical software packages SAS and SPSS, supplemented by Norm 2.03 and associated Java-based automation utilities.
