Multiple Imputation describes a strategy for analyzing incomplete data that accounts for uncertainty in the missing data by replacing (imputing) each missing value by several ‘candidates’. The actual implementation of any Multiple Imputation method is typically computationally expensive...

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are now routinely collected in the English National Health Service (NHS) and used to compare and reward hospital performance within a high-powered pay-for-performance scheme. However, PROMs are prone to missing data. For example, hospitals often fail to...

A new database called the World Resource Table (WRT) is constructed in this study. Missing values are known to produce complications when constructing global databases. This study provides a solution for applying multiple imputation techniques and estimates the global environmental Kuznets curve...

Previous studies that analyzed multiple imputation using survey data did not take into account the survey sampling design. The objective of the current study is to analyze the impact of survey sampling design missing data imputation, using multivariate multiple imputation method. The results of...

Missing data is a problem that occurs frequently in survey data. Missing data results in biased estimates and reduced efficiency for regression estimates. The objective of the current study is to analyze the impact of missing-data imputation, using multiple-imputation methods, on regression...

Zum Vergleich ausgewählter Missing Data Techniken nutzt dieses Papier eine Befragung, in der u. a. die Zustimmung zum Record Linkage der Befragungs- mit administrativen Prozessdaten abgefragt wurde. Bei nicht zustimmenden Befragten, werden ihre gegebenen Antworten auf 'fehlend' gesetzt, um so...

The results of a national fear of crime survey are compared with results following the use of different nonresponse correction procedures. We compared naive estimates, weighted estimates, estimates after a thorough nonresponse follow-up and estimates after multiple imputation. A strong...

In much of applied statistics variables of interest are measured with error. In particular, regression with covariates that are subject to measurement error requires adjustment to avoid biased estimates and invalid inference. We consider two aspects of this problem. Detection Limits (DL) arise...

The results of a national fear of crime survey are compared with results following the use of different nonresponse correction procedures. We compared naive estimates, weighted estimates, estimates after a thorough nonresponse follow-up and estimates after multiple imputation. A strong...

Many studies delete incomplete data prior to model estimation, resulting in less efficient and potentially biased parameter estimates. Multiple imputation provides a model-based method of simultaneously estimating missing values for several variables, conditioned on the observed values. The...
