Multiple imputation in health‐are databases: An overview and some applications

Rubin, Donald B., Schenker, Nathaniel·1991·Statistics in Medicine

Abstract

Multiple imputation for non‐response replaces each missing value by two or more plausible values. The values can be chosen to represent both uncertainty about the reasons for non‐response and uncertainty about which values to impute assuming the reasons for non‐response are known. This paper provides an overview of methods for creating and analysing multiply‐imputed data sets, and illustrates the dramatic improvements possible when using multiple rather than single imputation. A major application of multiple imputation to public‐use files from the 1970 census is discussed, and several exploratory studies related to health care that have used multiple imputation are described.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
