Case Study #2 - Handling Missing DataThe data set to be studied, which uses health data from the 1994 National Population Health Survey, will have missing data to simulate non-response. In addition to studying the relationship between health status and health determinants, the student will learn about response mechanisms, non-response bias, and different methods to treat and analyze data with missing values.

Who can give a presentation?The Case Studies in Data Analysis sessions will be held at the SSC Annual Meeting in Hamilton, May 26-29, 2002. Each Case Study will be introduced by a subject-matter expert, so that the teams presenting analyses will not have to repeat the background information. It is expected that each team will have 15 minutes to present their results, but this will depend on the number of teams presenting. You could opt for a poster presentation if you prefer.
The sessions are intended for teams of graduate and senior undergraduate students working either with or without faculty mentors. If you think you might want to participate, please let me know by March 15 2002. I will need to know the list of names for your team, the university which you represent, your chosen case study, and your choice of a platform or poster presentation. I will also need to know if you are giving any other papers at the meeting, to avoid scheduling conflicts. How to contact us...You will doubtless have questions once you start working on the data. You can ask us, you don't have to guess the answer! You can direct your questions to me and I will put answers to frequently-asked questions on the web pages. You are also free to contact the people who prepared the exercises, in which case please Cc all correspondence to me so I can pick up frequently-asked questions. You are free to submit questions in either language, English or French.
