Preferred term
missing data
Definition
- Missing data problems arise frequently in social science applications. Household survey respondents may fail to provide responses to questions for reasons of refusal, fatigue, enumerator error or perhaps a split sample design is used, in which case the missingness is an intentional strategy to conserve resources.
