Alle Exemplare der Ausgabe mit dieser ISBN anzeigen:"As an applied biostatistician, the introductory chapter spoke directly to me. It began motivating the issues in multiple imputation from the perspective of applied data problems and problematic approaches to them...Foundational examples start with simple scenarios that are gradually and clearly expanded upon. At each step, R code is shown and illustrations visually show the effects of different approaches. For every major concept there is a half-page "Algorithm Box", a short summary in pseudo-code of the algorithm being discussed. These, in conjunction with the explanatory text, made things extremely clear and easy to grasp... Overall, this book does an excellent job of bringing one from no knowledge of multiple imputation to a working knowledge of multiple imputation."
―ISCB News, July 2016
"The opening chapters of this book will be useful to the newcomer to missing data, including the nonstatistician. Many of the recommendations in the ‘Do’s and don’ts’ section will be useful to the researcher who encounters missing data and wishes to deal with it responsibly. Finally, the code examples provide a reassuring companion to the user of the mice software package."
―Biometrical Journal, 2014
"This book would be well suited as a textbook, especially at the graduate level, possibly for biostatisticians, epidemiologists, or applied scientists and users of statistical methodology. ...a very enjoyable read, and―at least in my opinion―it is a book that belongs on everyone’s shelf as it does open one’s eyes to a problem that has surrounded us (and that many of us have ignored!) for a very long time."
―Wolfgang S. Jank, Journal of the American Statistical Association, June 2013
"From the first lines of Chapter 1 throughout the entire monograph, the author presents numerous R language codes, so the book also serves as a good introduction to R. Each chapter is complete with various examples and exercises. The book is very useful to graduate students and researchers for solving practical problems with real data."
―Technometrics, February 2013
"It’s excellent and I highly recommend it. ... van Buuren’s book is great even if you don’t end up using the algorithm described in the book ... he supplies lots of intuition, examples, and graphs."
―Andrew Gelman, Columbia University
"... a beautiful book that is so full of guidance for statisticians ... exceptionally up to date and has more useful wisdom about dealing with common missing data problems than any other source I've seen."
―Frank Harrell, Vanderbilt University
"I’m delighted to see this new book on multiple imputation by Stef van Buuren ...This book represents a 'no nonsense' straightforward approach to the application of multiple imputation. I particularly like Stef’s use of graphical displays ... It’s great to have Stef’s book on multiple imputation, and I look forward to seeing more editions as this rapidly developing methodology continues to become even more effective at handling missing data problems in practice."
―From the Foreword by Donald B. Rubin
Missing data form a problem in every scientific discipline, yet the techniques required to handle them are complicated and often lacking. One of the great ideas in statistical science―multiple imputation―fills gaps in the data with plausible values, the uncertainty of which is coded in the data itself. It also solves other problems, many of which are missing data problems in disguise.
Flexible Imputation of Missing Data is supported by many examples using real data taken from the author's vast experience of collaborative research, and presents a practical guide for handling missing data under the framework of multiple imputation. Furthermore, detailed guidance of implementation in R using the author’s package MICE is included throughout the book.
Assuming familiarity with basic statistical concepts and multivariate methods, Flexible Imputation of Missing Data is intended for two audiences:
This graduate-tested book avoids mathematical and technical details as much as possible: formulas are accompanied by a verbal statement that explains the formula in layperson terms. Readers less concerned with the theoretical underpinnings will be able to pick up the general idea, and technical material is available for those who desire deeper understanding. The analyses can be replicated in R using a dedicated package developed by the author.
