Regression with imputed covariates: A generalized missing-indicator approach
2011
A common problem in applied regression analysis is that covariate values may be missing for some observations but imputed values may be available. This situation generates a trade-off between bias and precision: the complete cases are often disarmingly few, but replacing the missing observations with the imputed values to gain precision may lead to bias. In this paper, we formalize this trade-off by showing that one can augment the regression model with a set of auxiliary variables so as to obtain, under weak assumptions about the imputations, the same unbiased estimator of the parameters of interest as complete-case analysis. Given this augmented model, the bias-precision trade-off may the…
Weights and Imputations in SHARE Wave 8
2022
In this chapter, we first use the different patterns of participation to define three subsamples of primary interest for the analysis of the SHARE data collected in Wave 8: CAPI, CATI and CAPI & CATI. We then describe the procedure used to construct calibrated cross-sectional and longitudinal weights for handling, respectively, problems of unit non-response and attrition in the CAPI subsample. Afterwards, we describe the model used to obtain multiple imputations of the missing values due to item non-response in the CAPI data.
WEIGHTS AND IMPUTATIONS
2019
This chapter provides a description of the weighting and imputation strategies used to address problems of unit nonresponse, sample attrition and item nonresponse in the seventh wave of SHARE.
