Feldman, Betsy J.; Rabe-Hesketh, Sophia – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2012
In longitudinal education studies, assuming that dropout and missing data occur completely at random is often unrealistic. When the probability of dropout depends on covariates and observed responses (called "missing at random" [MAR]), or on values of responses that are missing (called "informative" or "not missing at random" [NMAR]),…
