A Reexamination of Public- versus Private-School Achievement: The Case for Missing Data.
Ward, Thomas J. Jr.; Clark, Henry T. III
Journal of Educational Research, v84 n3 p153-63 Jan-Feb 1991

Results indicated that use of data-replacement techniques affected the conclusions of the three studies examined. A small positive effect favoring private schooling was reported. (SM)
