Nonparametric imputation method for nonresponse in surveys
Many imputation methods are based on statistical models that assume that the variable of interest is a noisy observation of a function of the auxiliary variables or covariates. Misspecification of this model may lead to severe errors in estimates and to misleading conclusions. A new imputation method for item nonresponse in surveys is proposed based on a nonparametric estimation of the function...
متن کاملIs Earnings Nonresponse Ignorable?
Is Earnings Nonresponse Ignorable? Earnings nonresponse in the Current Population Survey is roughly 30% in the monthly surveys and 20% in the annual March survey. Even if nonresponse is random, severe bias attaches to wage equation coefficient estimates on attributes not matched in the earnings imputation hot deck. If nonresponse is ignorable, unbiased estimates can be achieved by omitting impu...
متن کاملDoubly Robust Nonparametric Multiple Imputation for Ignorable Missing Data.
Missing data are common in medical and social science studies and often pose a serious challenge in data analysis. Multiple imputation methods are popular and natural tools for handling missing data, replacing each missing value with a set of plausible values that represent the uncertainty about the underlying values. We consider a case of missing at random (MAR) and investigate the estimation ...
متن کاملMultiple Imputation for Unit-Nonresponse versus Weighting including a comparison with a Nonresponse Follow-Up Study
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 similarity between the MI and the follow-up-estimates was found. This suggests, that if the assumptions of MAR...
متن کاملInferences for Two-Stage Multiple Imputation for Nonresponse
Multiple imputation is a common approach for handling missing data. It allows users to make valid inferences using standard complete-data methods with simple combining rules. A variation is to partition the missing data into two portions and conduct the imputation in two stages. We review two-stage multiple imputation and existing inferential methods and derive an alternative reference F -distr...
