Reducing Item-Specific Nonresponse Bias
Pohl, Norval F.; Bruno, Albert V.
Journal of Experimental Education, 46, 3, 57-64, Spr 78
Describes a method of dealing with partially-responded-to questionnaires in survey research which utilizes nonparametric Bayesian discriminant analysis to predict missing responses based on "profiles" of the partial and the "complete" respondents. Some background of nonresponse bias in survey research is discussed, and two other methods of dealing with partial nonresponse bias are briefly criticized. (Editor)
