  evaluating statistical methods - Ian White\, MRC

DESCRIPTION:I will talk about some of my own experiences of us
 ing simulation studies to understand and evaluate 
 statistical methods. I will suggest some ways to c
 lassify and describe simulation studies\, and cons
 truct an analogy with randomised trials. I will th
 en give some examples from research in missing dat
 a\, including the difficult situation where simula
 tion studies are used to compare methods that make
  different untestable assumptions.\n
