Handling attrition and non-response in longitudinal data

Journal article

Goldstein, Harvey. (2009). Handling attrition and non-response in longitudinal data. Longitudinal and Life Course Studies.

Authors	Goldstein, Harvey
Abstract	Procedures for handling attrition and missing data in longitudinal studies are discussed. A multiple imputation (MI) strategy is developed that can be applied to complex multilevel data. It is both general and statistically efficient and estimation software is available. An example of its use is given.
