	Statistical Modeling, Causal Inference, and Social Science: April 2005 Archives
		The next generalization, modeling missing data or, more generally, the process of data collection, generalizes the likelihood from p(ytheta) to p(y,Itheta,phi), where I represents the information of which data points are actually observed, and phi are parameters describing the design of the data-collection and recording process (Rubin, 1976).
		In general, more complex models are better (see here, also with some interesting discussion), but a simpler model is less effort to set up and can be used as a starting point in a wide range of examples.
		In general, I'm more in favor of students collecting their own data rather than using the web (see Section 11.4 of our book) but here they have to do a little work, what with the sampling and the content evaluation, so it seems that it could be reasonable.
