The idea behind MI, the advantages of MI over existing techniques for addressing missing data, how to do MI for real problems, the software available to implement MI, and the results of a simulation study aimed at finding out how assumptions regarding the imputation model affect the parameter estimates provided by MI are discussed.Abstract:
This article provides a comprehensive review of multiple imputation (MI), a technique for analyzing data sets with missing values. Formally, MI is the process of replacing each missing data point with a set of m > 1 plausible values to generate m complete data sets. These complete data sets are then analyzed by standard statistical software, and the results combined, to give parameter estimates and standard errors that take into account the uncertainty due to the missing data values. This article introduces the idea behind MI, discusses the advantages of MI over existing techniques for addressing missing data, describes how to do MI for real problems, reviews the software available to implement MI, and discusses the results of a simulation study aimed at finding out how assumptions regarding the imputation model affect the parameter estimates provided by MI.read more

Ingi Lee,Russell Localio,Colleen M. Brensinger,Emily A. Blumberg,Ebbing Lautenbach,Leanne B. Gasink,Valerianna Amorosa,Vincent Lo Re +7 more
TL;DR: Pre-transplant HCV positivity is associated with decreased survival after heart transplantation, and this association did not vary by gender or overall number of heart transplantations performed at the center.

Earnings Benefits of Tulsa's Pre-K Program for Different Income Groups
TL;DR: The authors used test-score data from the fall of 2006 and recent findings by Chetty et al. on the relationship between kindergarten test scores and adult earnings to generate projections of adult earnings effects and a partial cost-benefit analysis of the Tulsa pre-K program.

Friends or foes: social anxiety, peer affiliation, and drinking in middle school.
TL;DR: The findings suggest that alcohol-related risks associated with social anxiety might be gender specific and more important in earlier stages of alcohol use than previously believed.
