Practical use of multiple imputation to handle missing data in Stata 12

Course download page

All participants will need their own laptop running Stata version 12, as we will be using mi impute chained which is new in Stata 12. Please don't come with a laptop running Stata version 11 or older.

It would save time if you could download and install the datasets for the practical sessions before the course.

Data for practicals

The 8 datasets for the course practicals (together with 4 other files that may come in useful) are in a zip file and should be downloaded from here. We suggest you unzip these to a directory on your hard disk that you create specially for this course.

• How to do this may depend on your browser, etc., but you should be able to get the files just by clicking on the link above. When you see the list of files, click Extract. Then select the directory you want the files to go in. Alternatively, save the zip file to disk and double-click the saved file.
