Analysis of missing data
“The most pressing task, in my opinion, is placing further emphasis on the general recognition and understanding, at a conceptual level, of the necessity of properly dealing with the missing-data mechanism, as part of our ongoing emphasis on the importance of the data collection process in any meaningful statistical analysis. The missing-data mechanism is in the blood of statistics, and it is the nastiest and the most deceptive cell, especially for nonstatisticians - why on earth should anyone be concerned with data that one does not even have?” Meng (2000)
