Session: Multiple imputation of complex data designs
Description:
Throughout the last couple of years multiple imputation has become an increasingly popular and widely accepted method to deal with missing data. Multiple imputation is one prominent and -- if properly applied -- well justified method to allow valid analyses of incompletely observed data. However, we find that existing multiple imputation procedures are still limited with regard to handling complex clustered or panel datasets adequately. Hence, a fruitful and necessary avenue for current and future research is to generalize imputation techniques correspondingly. We invite researchers to present their research on multiple imputation (both theoretical developments and practical applications) especially with a focus on complex data designs (e.g. clustered data, longitudinal data).
