Description
Summary:This report reviews the effects of missing data on probability distributions which covers two main topics: (1) types of probability distributions and goodness-of-fit tests, and (2) missing data mechanisms and missing data techniques (MDT). The focus is to investigate the effects of missing data of a specified probability distribution and determine the best methods to fill in the missing values. An overview and comparison of the complete-data cases and incomplete-data cases are provided. Multiple imputation and Listwise Deletion, which are the two MDTs used are also discussed.
