Preventing and Treating Missing Data in Longitudinal Clinical Trials

'... this monograph is good value, and I recommend all those involved in the design, conduct or analysis of trials to peruse a copy. Non-statisticians will inevitably be frustrated at times, but if this monograph fosters improved discussion and understanding of the issues raised by missing data in study teams - and how they might be addressed - it will have done its work. In his choice of audience Mallinckrodt set himself a high bar ... it has ... been cleared. In addition, [his] wry turn of phrase was an unexpected pleasure. You'll miss this if you don't buy it!'
