maximum likelihood estimation for missing data in structural equation models.

Structural Equation Modeling: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 8, 430−457.

Enders and Bandalos (2001) indicated that full information maximum-likelihood is superior to listwise,

pairwise, and similar response pattern imputations in handling missing data that may be considered ignorable.
