Abstract:

In surveys that depend on multiple outside sources to supply frame information, there is often complete and partial nonresponse on stratification variables. In order to draw the sample, it then becomes necessary to impute missing frame information. The purpose of this paper is to test the race/ethnicity and gender imputation schemes utilized in the 2003 National Survey of Recent College Graduates. Race/ethnicity is imputed using a multitier procedure that looks at the racial makeup of institution attended, last name, and first name, whereas gender is imputed based on then gender makeup of the institution attended, first name, and middle name. To test the effectiveness of our imputation scheme, we applied the imputation scheme to known frame cases.
