All day, Wednesday 20 April 2016

Place: The Cathie Marsh Institute for Social Research, Manchester.

This course begins with a general overview of methods for handling missing data, followed by an introduction to response propensity models and their use in constructing non-response weights; this is linked to a practical session using data from the National Child Development Study (NCDS). In the afternoon there is a session on how to estimate R (for representativity) indicators and Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curves for assessing bias and prediction; this is linked to a practical session using data from the Millennium Cohort Study (MCS). The day concludes with a session on assessing missingness with repeated measures data.
