Does Missingness Have A Pattern?
Analyzing the type of missingness in your dataset is a very important step towards treating missing values. In this chapter, you'll learn in detail how to establish patterns in your missing and non-missing data, and how to appropriately treat the missingness using simple techniques such as listwise deletion.
