Why choose this project topic?
This topic turns examining how incomplete diary intervals change daily activity summaries into a measurable analytical question. Comparing unallocated time, category shifts and imputation sensitivity gives a student material for visual results, methodological criticism and a discussion of how the data's limitations change the conclusion.
How does missing data in time-use diaries affect examining how incomplete diary intervals change daily activity summaries, as measured by unallocated time, category shifts and imputation sensitivity?
Choose an accessible licensed or synthetic dataset, agree the unit of analysis and narrow examining how incomplete diary intervals change daily activity summaries to a reproducible comparison your supervisor can review.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Define the data, assumptions and comparison design for examining how incomplete diary intervals change daily activity summaries.
- 02Use consented anonymous or synthetic diaries, flag impossible durations and compare complete-case and transparent imputation approaches.
- 03Compare unallocated time, category shifts and imputation sensitivity and report uncertainty and sensitivity to analytical choices.
A suggested research approach
Use consented anonymous or synthetic diaries, flag impossible durations and compare complete-case and transparent imputation approaches. Confirm the data licence and variable definitions before analysis. Preserve an untouched evaluation set where relevant, document exclusions and missingness, and report unallocated time, category shifts and imputation sensitivity with uncertainty or sensitivity checks rather than selecting only favourable results.
What you will need
- Anonymous or synthetic diaries
- Activity coding rules
- Daily total validation scripts
Keep your project scope clear
Diary reports may contain recall bias and should not support judgements about individual productivity.
