Longitudinal Nonresponse Prediction with Time Series Machine Learning
John Collins,
Christoph Kern
Abstract:Panel surveys are an important tool for social science researchers, but nonresponse in any panel wave can significantly reduce data quality. Panel managers then attempt to identify participants who may be at risk of not participating using predictive models to target interventions before data collection through adaptive designs. Previous research has shown that these predictions can be improved by accounting for a sample member’s behavior in past waves. These past behaviors are often operationalized through ro… Show more
