Frequency Valid Multiple Imputation for Surveys with a Complex Design

Résumé du livre

General conditions required for valid design-based inference when using multiple imputation for dealing with missing values are considered. We focus on the means or totals and the estimation of their variances. We study multiple and proper imputation under a general setting, concentrating on the mathematical and statistical conditions required for valid design-based inference, assuming the nonresponse mechanism is an additional phase of sampling.
