Presentation Title: Missing Data Imputation: From Start to Finish
Most researchers have faced the situation in which missing values (e.g., missing survey responses, attrition) have affected their ability to conduct analyses. In this hands-on workshop, participants will briefly review missing data mechanisms, and then do a guided walk-through of BLIMP–a powerful free tool for multiple imputation. Participants can download the BLIMP software ahead of time if they want to carry out the BLIMP steps with their own data or data provided by the presenter.
