Abstract:

Record linkage is a very valuable and efficient tool for connecting information from different data sources. However missing data occur due to unlinked records and nonresponse. In this talk, we develop a multiple imputation model based on the propensity of linkage and compare our method with different imputation techniques. We apply our method to the National Health Interview survey (NHIS, year 2004-2005) linked with the CMS (Medicare) administrative data (year 1999-2007), data linked by the linkage program at the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS). Simulation studies are conducted to evaluate our approach.
