This book brings together a collection of articles on statistical methods relating to missing data analysis, including multiple imputation, propensity scores, instrumental variables, and Bayesian inference. Covering new research topics and real-world examples which do not feature in many standard texts. The book is dedicated to Professor Don Rubin (Harvard). Don Rubin has made fundamental contributions to the study of missing data. Key features of the book include:* Comprehensive coverage of an imporant area for both research and applications.* Adopts a pragmatic approach to describing a wide range of intermediate and advanced statistical techniques.* Covers key topics such as multiple imputation, propensity scores, instrumental variables and Bayesian inference.* Includes a number of applications from the social and health sciences.* Edited and authored by highly respected researchers in the area.

Statistical techniques that take account of missing data in a clinical trial, census, or other experiments, observational studies, and surveys are of increasing importance. The use of increasingly powerful computers and algorithms has made it possible to study statistical problems from a Bayesian perspective. These topics are highly active research areas and have important applications across a wide range of disciplines.
This book is a collection of articles from leading researchers on statistical methods relating to missing data analysis, causal inference, and statistical modeling, including multiple imputation, propensity scores, instrumental variables, and Bayesian inference. The book is dedicated to Professor Donald Rubin, on the occasion of his 60th birthday, in recognition of his many and wide–ranging contributions to statistics, particularly to the topic of statistical analysis with missing data.
Applied Bayesian Modeling and Causal Inference from Incomplete–Data Perspectives presents an overview with examples of these key topics suitable for researchers in all areas of statistics. It adopts a practical approach suitable for applied statisticians working in social and political sciences, biological and medical sciences, and physical sciences, as well as graduate students of statistics and biostatistics.
