Rounding After Multiple Imputation With Non-Binary Categorical Covariates

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

This research paper provides estimates of such bias in the case of a sample mean in a real-life setting with extensive data, and also considers the alternative of retaining the unrounded imputed values for analyses instead of rounding them.
