An exploratory analysis of missing data from the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Learn to Play - Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (CAPL) project.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Physical literacy comprises a range of tests over four domains (Physical Competence, Daily Behaviour, Motivation and Confidence, and Knowledge and Understanding). The patterns of missing data in large field test batteries such as those for physical literacy are largely unknown. Therefore, the aim of this paper was to explore the patterns and possible reasons for missing data in the Royal Bank of Canada Learn to Play-Canadian Assessment of Physical Literacy (RBC Learn to Play-CAPL) project.

Methods

A total of 10,034 Canadian children aged 8 to 12 years participated in the RBC Learn to Play-CAPL project. A 32-variable subset from the larger CAPL dataset was used for these analyses. Several R packages ("Hmisc", "mice", "VIM") were used to generate matrices and plots
