1 PLANNED MISSING DATA DESIGNS SRCD Developmental Methodology Conference Feb 9 202

2 PLANNED MISSING DATA DESIGNS In planned missing data designs, participants are randomly assigned to conditions in which they do not respond to all items, all measures, and/or all measurement occasions Why would you want to do this?. Long assessments can reduce data quality 2. Repeated assessments can induce practice effects 3. Collecting data can be time- and cost-intensive 4. Less taxing assessments may reduce unplanned missingness 2

3 PLANNED MISSING DATA DESIGNS Cross-Sectional Designs Multiple Matrix Sampling Three-Form Design (and Variations) Two-Method Measurement Longitudinal Designs Developmental Time-Lag Wave- to Age-based designs Monotonic Sample Reduction Growth-Curve Planned Missing 3

23 THREE-FORM DESIGN Things to consider number of forms order of items 23

24 THREE-FORM DESIGN Summary Shorter questionnaire = higher-quality data Shorter questionnaire = less unplanned missing High correlations between item sets = high efficiency relative to a complete data design Questions? 24

25 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Measure Gold standard highly valid (unbiased) measure of the construct under investigation Problem: Measure is time-consuming and/or costly to collect, so it is not feasible to collect from a large sample Measure 2 Practical inexpensive and/or quick to collect on a large sample Problem: Measure 2 is systematically biased so not ideal 25

26 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT e.g., measuring stress Measure = collect spit samples, measure cortisol Measure 2 = survey querying stressful thoughts e.g., measuring intelligence Measure = WAIS IQ scale Measure 2 = multiple choice IQ test e.g., measuring smoking Measure = carbon monoxide measure Measure 2 = self-report 26

27 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT How it works ALL participants receive Measure 2 (the cheap one) A subset of participants also receive Measure (the gold standard) Using both measures (on a subset of participants) enables us to estimate and remove the bias from the inexpensive measure (for all participants) using a latent variable model 27

28 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Example Does child s level of classroom attention in Grade predict math ability in Grade 3? Attention Measures ) Direct Classroom Assessment (2 items, N = 60) 2) Teacher Report (2 items, N = 200) Math Ability Measure, item (test score, N = 200) 28

29 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 29

30 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 30

31 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 3

32 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 32

33 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 33

34 Attention (Grade ) Math Score (Grade 3) TR TR2 DA DA 2 Teacher Report Teacher Report 2 Direct Assessment Direct Assessment 2 Math Score (Grade 3) (N = 200) (N = 200) (N = 60) (N = 60) (N = 200) Teacher Bias 2 bias 34

35 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Assumptions: expensive measure is unbiased (i.e., valid) inexpensive measure is systematically biased both measures access the same construct 35

36 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Holding cost constant, as N total increases, N expensive decreases As N total increases, SEs begin to decrease (power increases); as N total continues to increase, SEs increase again 36 from Graham et al. (2006)

37 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Find the sweet spot! true-score reliability (expensive) true-score reliability (cheap) bias cheap only cheap only cheap only cheap only neither 37 from Graham et al. (2006)

38 TWO-METHOD MEASUREMENT Summary Rather than face a choice between high power/low validity vs. low power/high validity, 2-method measurement can result in high power/high validity This design is only possible when there are two suitable measures for the construct of interest Questions? 38

39 DEVELOPMENTAL TIME-LAG MODEL Use 2-time point data with variable time-lags to measure a growth trajectory + practice effects (McArdle & Woodcock, 997) 39

47 DEVELOPMENTAL TIME-LAG MODEL Summary 2 measured time points are formatted according to time-lag This formatting allows a growth-curve to be fit, measuring growth and practice effects Questions? 47

48 WAVE- TO AGE-BASED DATA The idea of reformatting data to answer a different question is not limited to time-lag designs Wave-based data collection (e.g., data collected at Grade -3) can be transformed into age-based data with missingness 48

49 49 K 2 grade student ;6-4; 5;0-5;5 5;6-5; age 6;0-6;5 6;6-6; 7;0-7;5 7;6-7; 5;6 5;3 4;9 4;6 4; 5;7 5;2 5;4 6;7 6;0 5; 5;5 5;9 6;7 6; 6;5 7;4 6;0 7;3 6;0 7;5 6;4 7;3 7;6

50 Out of 3 waves, create 7 waves of data with high missingness Allows for more fine-tuned agespecific growth modeling 4;6-4; 4;9 4;6 5;0-5;5 5;3 5;5 5;6-5; 5;6 5; age 6;0-6;5 6;0 6;4 6;6-6; 6;7 6;0 7;0-7;5 7;3 7;4 7;6-7; Even high amounts of missing data are not typically a problem for estimation 4; 5;2 5;4 5;9 5;7 6; 6;5 6;0 6;7 7;5 7;3 7;6 50

51 MONOTONIC SAMPLE REDUCTION Sometimes used in large datasets (e.g., Early Childhood Longitudinal Study) to reduce costs At each wave, a randomly-selected subgroup of the original sample is observed again The remainder of the original participants do not need to be kept track of, dramatically reducing costs Group Time Time 2 Time 3 Time 4 Time 5 x x x x x 2 x x x x -- 3 x x x x x x

52 MONOTONIC SAMPLE REDUCTION Advantages: Cost reduction A lot of power to estimate effects at earlier waves Disadvantages: Very little power to estimate effects dependent on the last wave of data, e.g., growth curve models (may be missing 80% of data) It is important to be able to estimate attrition rates before beginning data collection 52

53 GROWTH-CURVE PLANNED MISSING With a particular analysis in mind, missingness may be tailored to maximize power In growth-curve designs, the most important parameters are the growth parameters (e.g., estimate the steepness and the shape of the curve) Estimation precision depends heavily on the first and last time points A planned missing design can take advantage of this by putting missingness in the middle 53

54 GROWTH-CURVE PLANNED MISSING Participants are randomly assigned to be missing one measurement occasion (Graham, Taylor & Cumsille, 200) Group Time Time 2 Time 3 Time 4 Time 5 x x x x x 2 x x x x -- 3 x x x -- x 4 x x -- x x 5 x -- x x x 6 -- x x x x 54

58 PLANNED MISSING DESIGNS: SUMMARY Purposeful missing data can address several issue in study design Cost of data collection Participant burden/fatigue Practice effects Participant dropout Rearranging data can turn one complete design into a more nuanced missing data design Developmental time-lag designs Wave-missing into age-missing 58
