What is the difference between “listwise deletion” and “pairwise deletion”? |
|
Answer» When a PARTICULAR VARIABLE is missing in an observation or row, then we delete an entire row. This is called List wise deletion. When the analysis is performed with all CASES of a variable and then only those variable instances are deleted and not the entire row. This is called PAIRWISE deletion. This works like a CORRELATION matrix. Generally, pairwise deletion is preferred over listwise deletion as listwise deletion removes the entire row for a particular missing variable. |
