The Treatment of Missing Data in Multivariate Analysis

Procedures for treating missing data in the statistical analysis of survey data are reviewed. The main topics covered are: (1) how to assess the nature of missing data especially with regard to randomness, (2) a comparison of listwise and pairwise deletion, and (3) methods for using maximum information to estimate (a) parameters or (b) missing values.
