The content of Missing completely at random was merged into Missing data on 12 May 2014. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists.

Questions to ask about missing data

Ironically, this article is missing information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.195.90.156 (talk • contribs)

The section on questions to ask about missing data seems more appropriate to an undergraduate research methods text than to an encyclopedia. Randomactsofaffect (talk) 18:23, 13 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rename

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Macr86 (talk) 02:31, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Missing values → Missing data — I believe 'missing data' is the more common term than 'missing values' for this topic in statistics. E.g. compare number and citation counts of Google Scholar hits for articles with "missing data" in the title to hits for articles with "missing values" in the title. --Qwfp (talk) 10:16, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A remarkably quick closure of a so-called discussion. An obvious question would have been, and still is, what to do about Category:Missing values . Melcombe (talk) 14:41, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this was closed too quickly. It is not the only (or the most) controversial close by this editor. I agree with Qwfp's reason for the move, though. I'd support moving the category too. --Avenue (talk) 22:49, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have place a cfr request for renaming the category. Melcombe (talk) 16:39, 14 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

References issue Suggestion

The reference list starts off with numbers and then goes to dots. I don't know how to fix this, but it doesn't look right. PeterLFlomPhD (talk) 20:20, 1 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
