TLDR
2 general approaches that come highly recommended: maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian multiple imputation (MI) are presented and may eventually extend the ML and MI methods that currently represent the state of the art.Abstract:
Statistical procedures for missing data have vastly improved, yet misconception and unsound practice still abound. The authors frame the missing-data problem, review methods, offer advice, and raise issues that remain unresolved. They clear up common misunderstandings regarding the missing at random (MAR) concept. They summarize the evidence against older procedures and, with few exceptions, discourage their use. They present, in both technical and practical language, 2 general approaches that come highly recommended: maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian multiple imputation (MI). Newer developments are discussed, including some for dealing with missing data that are not MAR. Although not yet in the mainstream, these procedures may eventually extend the ML and MI methods that currently represent the state of the art.read more

Multiple Imputation With Large Data Sets: A Case Study of the Children's Mental Health Initiative
TL;DR: The method of multiple imputation by chained equations, which iterates through the data, imputing one variable at a time conditional on the others, was used to ensure that data analysis samples reflect the full population of youth participating in this program.

TL;DR: The findings suggest the need of timely bullying preventions and interventions that should have a special focus on children of families with a low socioeconomic background, rather than children visiting schools in disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
