Missing Data Analysis

Annu Rev Clin Psychol. 2024 Feb 12. doi: 10.1146/annurev-clinpsy-080822-051727. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMethods for handling missing data in clinical psychology studies are reviewed. Missing data are defined, and a taxonomy of main approaches to analysis is presented, including complete-case and available-case analysis, weighting, maximum likelihood, Bayes, single and multiple imputation, and augmented inverse probability weighting. Missingness mechanisms, which play a key role in the performance of alternative methods, are defined. Approaches to robust inference, and to inference when the mechanism is potentially missing not at random, are discussed. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Clinical Psychology, Volume 20 is May 2024.
