Talk:ignorable

RFV discussion: September 2016–May 2017
Rfv-sense: (statistics) Of an experiment, etc.: such that the method of data collection and the nature of missing data do not depend on the missing data.

No hits for "ignorable experiment" in Google Books. It must be collocated with other nouns, but which? May end up being SoP. DCDuring TALK 22:23, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Ahh. Apparently "ignorable missing data", which does seem SoP to me. DCDuring TALK 22:26, 24 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Want to move it to RFD, then? I vote delete in anticipation of such a move. —Μετάknowledge discuss/deeds 06:26, 25 September 2016 (UTC)


 * "Another pertinent distinction in Rubin's missing data classification system is whether the missing data mechanism is ignorable." Does that mean that the mechanism can be ignored, or something more? I'm not sure. Equinox ◑ 10:36, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Looking at web usage, I find that a very large share of total usage of the word ignorable is in the context of statistics. But the meaning seems to be "that can be ignored (for statistical purposes)."
 * I think that one or statistics-context usage examples, citations, a usage note, and reference to would make for a good entry. DCDuring TALK  13:43, 25 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There seems to be a specific meaning for missing data in longitudinal studies which is more specific than simply "able to be ignored". I have cited this, and improved the definition. Kiwima (talk) 03:52, 30 May 2017 (UTC)
