Statistical analysis with missing data using multiple imputation and
inverse probability weighting
 
Workshop, 29th - 31st March 2011
 
Dr James Carpenter, Dr Jonathan Bartlett & Professor Mike Kenward
www.missingdata.org.uk 
 
Venue: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, UK
 
Summary of workshop
This workshop aims to:
·  provide an introduction to the issues raised by missing data, and
the associated statistical jargon;
·  illustrate the shortcomings of ad-hoc methods for 'handling'
missing
data;
·  introduce multiple imputation for statistical analysis with missing
data
·  compare and contrast this with other methods, in particular inverse
probability weighting and doubly robust methods, and
·  to introduce methods for exploring the sensitivity of inference to
the missing at random assumption
 
Workshop content
The course will consist of 6 sessions, each of which comprises a 1hr
lecture followed by a discussion and then a 1.5hr computer practical
using Stata:
Session I: Introduction, issues raised by missing data, and towards a
systematic approach
Session II: Shortcomings of ad-hoc methods; introduction to multiple
imputation (MI)
Session III: More on MI (joint model approach, chained equations)
Session IV: MI in practice (hierarchical data, non-linearities,
interactions, survival outcomes)
Session V: Sensitivity analysis
Session VI: Inverse probability weighting and doubly robust estimation
 
Target Audience
Epidemiologists, biostatisticians and other health researchers with
strong quantitative skills and experience in statistical analysis.
Stata
will be used for the computer practicals, and so familiarity with the
package is highly desirable, although full Stata code and solutions
will
be provided.
 
Course Materials
Participants will receive written course notes.
 
Workshop Fee
£20 for registered students, and £40 for all others. The workshop fee
includes course materials, but does not include refreshments, food, or
accommodation. Refreshments can be purchased from the school
refectory.
