Abstract
In this chapter, you receive practical guidelines for coping with the many catastrophes that confront the applied statistician:
-
subjects who miss an appointment
-
subjects who disappear completely and mysteriously in the middle of an experiment
-
incomplete questionnaires
-
covariates after the fact
-
outlying observations whose extreme and questionable values suggest they may have been recorded incorrectly
-
off-scale and other censored values that can not be determined with precision
-
and even studies that must be brought to a rapid and untimely conclusion well in advance of the scheduled date.
