Abstract:

Missing value imputation for dichotomous variables is considered. In estimating the proportion, two methods, imputation and weight adjustment, are compared. Based on the ratio of variance increase due to imputation to variance decrease due to sample size increase, a statistic that is helpful to decide the use of imputation is introduced. A variance estimator for an estimator of proportion constructed with imputed data is suggested.
