Using Multiple Imputation To Address Missing Values Of Hierarchical Data, Yujia Zhang, Sara Crawford, Sheree Boulet, Michael Monsour, Bruce Cohen, Patricia Mckane, Karen Freeman

Missing data may be a concern for data analysis. If it has a hierarchical or nested structure, the SUDAAN package can be used for multiple imputation. This is illustrated with birth certificate data that was linked to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Assisted Reproductive Technology Surveillance System database. The Cox-Iannacchione weighted sequential hot deck method was used to conduct multiple imputation for missing/unknown values of covariates in a logistic model.

Jmasm44: Implementing Multiple Ratio Imputation By The Emb Algorithm (R), Masayoshi Takahashi

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Although single ratio imputation is often used to deal with missing values in practice, there is a paucity of discussion regarding multiple ratio imputation. Code in the R statistical environment is presented to execute multiple ratio imputation by the Expectation-Maximization with Bootstrapping (EMB) algorithm.


Multiple Ratio Imputation By The Emb Algorithm: Theory And Simulation, Masayoshi Takahashi May 2017

Multiple Ratio Imputation By The Emb Algorithm: Theory And Simulation, Masayoshi Takahashi

Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods

Although multiple imputation is the gold standard of treating missing data, single ratio imputation is often used in practice. Based on Monte Carlo simulation, the Expectation-Maximization with Bootstrapping (EMB) algorithm to create multiple ratio imputation is used to fill in the gap between theory and practice.
