| Semester | spring semester 2025 |
| Course frequency | Irregular |
| Lecturers | Angela Leipold (angela.leipold@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | This workshop will be held by Prof. Dr. Simon Grund (University of Hamburg). In this workshop, participants will receive an introduction to missing data analysis. In the first part, we begin with an overview of the theoretical foundations of missing data, before we consider two state-of-the-art methods for handling missing data: maximum likelihood estimation and multiple imputation. In the second part, we will discuss more specific challenges in the treatment of missing data such as multilevel data, questionnaire and longitudinal data, or nonlinear effects. The aim of the workshop is to develop a basic understanding of the problem of missing data and to gain practical experience with modern methods for handling them through a series of examples and hands-on excercises in the statistical software R. For the excercise sessions, the following software packages will be required: – R (version 4.3.0 or newer) – R packages: mice, miceadds, mitml, mdmb, lme4, lavaan, semTools – RStudio Please ensure beforehand that you have an up-to-date version of these packages installed and in-stall or update these packages as needed. |
