Abstract:
|
This paper provides an assessment of imputations methods applicable to the Agricultural Resource Management Survey data. We find that both iterative and noniterative regression procedures perform better than the current NASS method and an approximate Bayesian bootstrap method. Both regression methods perform better when utilizing a log-skew-normal transformation over a log-normal transformation.
