What are the several ways of dealing with missing data?
What will be an ideal response?
If missing data is encountered, there are several ways to deal with it. One approach is to replace the missing value with a value from a similar respondent. Another approach, if there are other similar questions to the one with missing data, is to use the answers to the other similar questions as a guide in determining the replacement value. A third approach is to use the mean of a subsample of the respondents with similar characteristics that answered the question to determine a replacement value. A final alternative is to use the mean of the entire sample that answered the question as a replacement value, but this is not recommended because it reduces the overall variance in the question.
