Incomplete data are common in epidemiological studies, and complete records analysis (CRA)—the default in most software—can lead to inefficiency and bias. The extent and direction of this bias depend on the analysis model and the mechanism of missingness (MCAR, MAR, or MNAR). Principled methods such as multiple imputation, inverse probability weighting, and maximum likelihood can improve accuracy. This playlist, by Rachael Ross (Columbia University) and Kate Tilling (University of Bristol), highlights key papers explaining missing data concepts and analytic approaches to address them.
