Applied Missing Data Analysis by Craig K. Enders

*The first accessible treatment of the tough statistics underlying missing data.
*Patiently walks readers through difficult concepts step by step.
*Companion website will provide data files for the examples in the book as well as up-to-date information on software.
*Written for those doing behavioral or social science studies instead of those trained in mathematical statistics.
*An important research tool that will appeal to both graduate students and applied researchers.

Applied Missing Data Analysis Reviews

. - The book is well written, and successfully achieves the goal, stated in the Preface, of 'translat[ing] the technical missing data literature into an accessible reference text' (p. vii) for the social sciences. The author successfully achieved the goal of helping the reader to become familiar with basic concepts in missing data analysis procedures, and to feel comfortable using these procedures in a variety of practical and social science applications. It contains very useful examples and illustrations in the applied social sciences. In addition, those example and illustration datasets and detailed software implementations are available on the book's website http://www.appliedmissingdata.com, which is invaluable. --American Statistician, 8/3/2011
