Abstract
In this policy forum the authors argue that data cleaning is an essential part of the research process, and should be incorporated into study design.

BMJPost-randomisation exclusions: the intention to treat principle and excluding patients from analysis
694 Citations2002Dean Fergusson, Shawn D Aaron +2 more
The authors consider the circumstances when it may be possible to exclude patients from the analysis of data in clinical trials, even in an intention to treat trial.
Journal of Clinical EpidemiologyAttrition in longitudinal studies
512 Citations2002Jos W. R. Twisk, Wieke de Vente
This study showed that the theoretically more valid multiple imputation method did not lead to different point estimates than the more simple (longitudinal) imputation methods, and the estimated standard errors appeared to be theoretically more adequate, because they reflect the uncertainty in estimation caused by missing values.
Clinical ChemistryEffect of Outliers and Nonhealthy Individuals on Reference Interval Estimation
301 Citations2001Paul S. Horn, Lan Feng +2 more
Combining traditional and robust statistical techniques provide a good method of identifying outliers in a reference interval setting, even in healthy samples, and there is a large deviation among analytes.
Elsevier eBooksINFLUENCE FUNCTIONS AND REGRESSION DIAGNOSTICS
99 Citations1982Roy E. Welsch
The chapter presents the exploratory approach that considers an influence measure as a batch of n numbers and used the techniques of exploratory data analysis including stem-and-leaf plots, box plots, and transformations to symmetry to identify unusual observations.

Journal of the American Statistical AssociationData Base Error Trapping and Prediction
11 Citations1991Mike West, Robert L. Winkler
This work develops and analyzes models for a class of problems involving inferences about uncertain numbers of errors in data bases and generates inferences in terms of predictive distributions for the numbers of undetected errors.
