Title: Extension of Fractional Imputation to General Missingness Patterns using Maximum Likelihood
Author(s): Minhui Paik*+

Address: , , ,
Keywords: missing data ; imputation ; replicate variance estimation
Abstract:

Surveys frequently have missing values for some variables for some units. Imputation is a widely used method in sample surveys as a method of handling missing data problem. We provide an new imputation procedure for various imputation models retaining many of the desirable properties of model-based imputation estimation and hot-deck imputation under fractional imputation. The main objective of this procedure is to construct an easy-to-use data set for general purpose estimation. We provide an extension of fractional imputation methods to general patterns of missing data via maximum likelihood calibration.
