Andries van der Ark, Department of Methodology and Statistics, Tilburg University Description A well-known problem in the analysis of test and questionnaire data is that some item scores may be missing. Advanced methods for the imputation of missing data are available, such as multiple imputation under the multivariate normal model and imputation under the saturated logistic model Schafer, However, these methods and software may be too complicated for a typical psychological researcher, and for the imputation of his or her missing data, he or she depends on the help of a trained statistician.
If available, this statistician may not always have enough time or may not be an experienced software user, so the researcher may decide to simply delete all incomplete observations. To help researchers impute scores using simple methods, two SPSS subroutines were written.
The aim of these subroutines is that researchers can apply them easily within SPSS and without experienced help. Functional Functional.

The papers are centered around topics like advanced computing, data sciences, distributed systems organizing principles, development frameworks and environments, software verification and validation, computational complexity and cryptography, machine learning theory, database theory, probabilistic representations.
Missing data pose challenges to real-life data analysis. Simple ad-hoc fixes, like deletion or mean imputation, only work under highly restrictive conditions, which are often not met in practice. Multiple imputation replaces each missing value by multiple plausible values.
The variability between these replacements reflects our ignorance of the true but missing value. Each of the completed data set is then analyzed by standard methods, and the results are pooled to obtain unbiased estimates with correct confidence intervals. Multiple imputation is a general approach that also inspires novel solutions to old problems by reformulating the task at hand as a missing-data problem. This is the second edition of a popular book on multiple imputation, focused on explaining the application of methods through detailed worked examples using the MICE package as developed by the author.
This new edition incorporates the recent developments in this fast-moving field. This class-tested book avoids mathematical and technical details as much as possible: formulas are accompanied by verbal statements that explain the formula in accessible terms. Segmentation is one of the first and most basic machine learning methods. It can be used by companies to understand their customers better, boost relevance of marketing messaging, and increase efficacy of predictive models.
A working guide that uses real-world data, this new edition will show you how to segment customers more intelligently and achieve the one-to-one customer relationship that your business needs. Step-by-step examples and exercises, using a number of machine learning and data mining techniques, clearly illustrate the concepts of segmentation and clustering in the context of customer relationship management.
The book includes four parts, each of which increases in complexity. Part 1 reviews the basics of segmentation and clustering at an introductory level, providing examples from a variety of industries. Part 2 offers an in-depth treatment of segmentation with practical topics, such as when and how to update your models.
Part 3 goes beyond traditional segmentation practices to introduce recommended strategies for clustering product affinities, handling missing data, and incorporating textual records into your predictive model with SAS Text Miner. Finally, part 4 takes segmentation to a new level with advanced techniques, such as clustering of product associations, developing segmentation-scoring models from customer survey data, combining segmentations using ensemble segmentation, and segmentation of customer transactions.
New to the third edition is a chapter that focuses on predictive models within microsegments and combined segments, and a new parallel process technique is introduced using SAS Factory Miner.
A practical guide to analysing partially observed data. Collecting, analysing and drawing inferences from data is central to research in the medical and social sciences.
Unfortunately, it is rarely possible to collect all the intended data. The literature on inference from the resulting incomplete data is now huge, and continues to grow both as methods are developed for large and complex data structures, and as increasing computer power and suitable software enable researchers to apply these methods. This book focuses on a particular statistical method for analysing and drawing inferences from incomplete data, called Multiple Imputation MI.
MI is attractive because it is both practical and widely applicable. The authors aim is to clarify the issues raised by missing data, describing the rationale for MI, the relationship between the various imputation models and associated algorithms and its application to increasingly complex data structures.
