Abstract

Imputation using a regression model is a method to preserve the correlation among variables and to provide imputed point estimators. We discuss the implementation of regression imputation using fractional imputation. By a suitable choice of fractional weights, the fractional regression imputation can take the form of hot deck fractional imputation, thus no artificial values are constructed after the imputation. A variance estimator, which extends the method of Kim and Fuller (2004), is also proposed. Results from a limited simulation study are presented.
