Multiple Imputation in Practice: With Examples Using IVEware provides practical guidance on multiple imputation analysis, from simple to complex problems using real and simulated data sets. Data sets from cross-sectional, retrospective, prospective and longitudinal studies, randomized clinical trials, complex sample surveys are used to illustrate both simple, and complex analyses. Version 0.3 of IVEware, the software developed by the University of Michigan, is used to illustrate analyses. IVEware can multiply impute missing values, analyze multiply imputed data sets, incorporate complex sample design features, and be used for other statistical analyses framed as missing data problems. IVEware can be used under Windows, Linux, and Mac, and with software packages like SAS, SPSS, Stata, and R, or as a stand-alone tool. This book will be helpful to researchers looking for guidance on the use of multiple imputation to address missing data problems, along with examples of correct analysis techniques.

Highly recommended by the Journal of Official Statistics, The American Statistician, and other top statistical journals, Applied Survey Data Analysis, Third Edition provides an up-to-date overview of state-of-the-art approaches to the analysis of complex sample survey data. Building on the wealth of material on practical approaches to descriptive analysis and regression modeling from the first and second editions, this third edition further expands the topics covered and presents more step-by-step examples of modern approaches to the analysis of survey data using the newest statistical software procedures.New to the Third Edition:Applied Bayesian methods for the analysis of complex sample survey data using available software implementing these methodsState-of-the-art methods and software for the analysis of survey data collected from non-probability samplesSoftware for modern applications of machine learning techniques to complex sample survey dataA completely revamped website providing code for replicating all the analyses illustrated in the book using Stata, SAS, SPSS, R, Mplus, SUDAAN, WesVar, and IVEwareNew end-of-chapter exercises, allowing for practice implementing the methods, including Bayesian analysis exercisesUpdated summaries of the newest literature on the analysis of survey data collected from complex samplesAn updated review of software packages currently available for the analysis of complex sample survey dataDesigned for readers working in a wide array of disciplines who conduct secondary analyses of survey data as part of their applied work, this book continues to provide a practical and accessible guide to the analysis of survey data. Continuing to use an example-driven approach to clearly illustrate analysis methods and software, the third edition contains many new examples and practical exercises based on recent versions of real-world survey data sets. Although the authors continue to use Stata for most examples in the text, they also offer the newest code for replicating the examples in other popular software packages on the book’s revamped website.
