Dear All
MRC-Biostatistics is running another course on Multiple Imputation on
the 22nd 23rd February 2012 ,
here @ the IPH Forvie Site, Robinson Way Cambridge CB2 0SR.
Course aims
* Explain the problems of missing data and the need for methods such
as multiple imputation
* Explain how multiple imputation works, with a focus on imputation
by chained equations (ICE)
* Explain how multiply imputed data are analysed
* Enable participants to analyse data by multiple imputation *in
Stata 12* using the commands mi impute chained and mi estimate
* Give participants an awareness of the assumptions underlying
multiple imputation and of its limitations.
We welcome participants bringing their own data and problems, and one
session is dedicated to "live" analysis of some participants' data.
Target audience
* Researchers needing to analyse incomplete data
* Should be familiar with running Stata from the command line (i.e.
not using menus) at least to the level of fitting a regression
model to complete data
* No prior knowledge of multiple imputation is assumed
* Participants should bring their own laptop computer with Stata
version 12
* The course would also be suitable as a refresher for people
familiar with multiple imputation using ice and mim and wanting to
learn about mi impute chained and mi estimate
*Stata versions 11 and earlier are not appropriate* as the course makes
extensive use of mi impute chained which is new in Stata 12.
