چکیده
Opinions expressed in this paper are the responsibility of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Board of Governors or the Federal Reserve System. the advice and support of Fritz Scheuren, comments by Roderick Little and Donald Rubin on an earlier description of the imputation model presented here, the patience and creativity of Louise Woodburn in serving as sounding board for many of the ideas, Gerhard Fries for valuable help in debugging the software, and Robert Denk for his careful work in managing the SCF database. Finally, thanks are due also to Robert Avery, the author's predecessor as SCF project director, who nourished an environment where data collection and imputation are taken seriously.

An Empirical Comparison of Performance of the Unified Approach to Linearization of Variance Estimation after Imputation with Some Other Methods
Imputation is one of the most common methods to reduce item non_response effects. Imputation results in a complete data set, and then it is possible to use naϊve estimators. After using most of common imputation methods, mean and total (imputation estimators) are still unbiased. However their variances (imputation variances) are underestimated by naϊve variance estimators. Sampling mechanism an...

The goal of this paper is to emphasise the importance of the way of handling missing data and its impact on the outcome of empirical studies. Using the 2002 wave of the Spanish Survey of Household Finances (EFF), I study the performance of alternative methods: listwise deletion, non-stochastic, multiple and single imputation based on linear-regression models, and hot-deck procedures. Using desc...
متن کاملChapter 8 Multiple Imputation and Disclosure Protection : TheCase of the 1995 Survey of Consumer Finances Arthur
Donald Rubin has suggested many times that one might multiply impute all the data in a survey as means of avoiding disclosure problems in public-use datasets. Disclosure protection in the Survey of Consumer Finances is a key issue driven by two forces. First, there are legal requirements stemming from the use of tax data in the sample design. Second, there is an ethical responsibility to protec...
متن کاملAccuracy evaluation of different statistical and geostatistical censored data imputation approaches (Case study: Sari Gunay gold deposit)
Most of the geochemical datasets include missing data with different portions and this may cause a significant problem in geostatistical modeling or multivariate analysis of the data. Therefore, it is common to impute the missing data in most of geochemical studies. In this study, three approaches called half detection (HD), multiple imputation (MI), and the cosimulation based on Markov model 2...
