We proposed imputation strategies for the Population and Housing Census 2000 in Korea. The total area of floor space and marital status which have relatively high non-response rates in the Census are considered to develope the effective missing value imputation procedures. The Classification and Regression Tree(CART) is employed to construct the imputation cells for hot-deck imputation, as well as to predict missing value by model-based approach. We compare three imputation methods which include CART model-based imputation, hot-deck imputation based on CART and logical hot-deck imputation proposed by The Korea National Statistical Office. The results suggest that the proposed hot-deck imputation based on CART is very efficient and strongly recommendable.

Researchers cannot avoid missing data in collecting data, because some respondents arbitrarily or non-arbitrarily do not answer questions in studies and experiments. Missing data not only increase and distort standard deviations, but also impair the convenience of estimating parameters and the reliability of research results. Despite widespread use of hot deck, researchers have not been interested in it, since it handles missing data in ambiguous ways. Hot deck can be complemented using K-nn, a method of machine learning, which can organize donor groups closest to properties of missing data. Interested in the role of k-nn, this study was conducted to impute missing data based on the hot deck method using k-nn. After setting up imputation of missing data based on hot deck using k-nn as a study objective, deletion of listwise, mean, mode, linear regression, and svm imputation were compared and verified regarding nominal and ratio data types and then, data closest to original values were obtained reasonably. Simulations using different neighboring numbers and the distance measuring method were carried out and better performance of k-nn was accomplished. In this study, imputation of hot deck was re-discovered which has failed to attract the attention of researchers. As a result, this study shall be able to help select non-parametric methods which are less likely to be affected by the structure of missing data and its causes.

본 연구예서는 일반적인 사회조사에서 사용될 수 있는 효과적인 결측값 대체방법을 검토하기 위해 인구주택총조사 조사항목 중 혼인상태의 결측값을 대체할 수 있는 두 가지 방법을 제안하고 있다. 첫 번째 방법은 CART(Classification and Regression Tree)모형에서 얻어진 최대 예측확률을 기준으로 결측값을 대체하는 일종의 모형기반 접근법이고, 두 번째 방법은 CART 모형에서 얻어진 결과를 근거로 대체층을 구성하여 핫덱(hot-deck) 방법을 적용하는 대체방법이다. 효율성 비교를 위해 2000년 인구주택총조사를 위한 시험조사에서 얻어진 제조사 결과를 이용하여 오분류율을 검토해 본 결과 두 방법 중 CART 모형을 기반으로 핫덱 방법을 적용하는 것이 효율적이라는 결론을 얻을 수 있었다. 아울러 전국에 대해 동일한 모형을 설정한 경우와 거주지 특성에 따라 광역시$.$도의 동지역, 도의 읍$.$면지역으로 구분하여 대체방법을 적용하는 경우를 비교해 본 결과 지역 구분을 통한 효율성 향상 효과는 미흡한 것으로 파악되었다.

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.

Jackknife variance estimation based on adjusted imputed values when nonresponse is nonrandom and follow-up data are available for a subsample of nonrespondents is provided. Both hot-deck and ratio imputation method are considered as imputation method. The performance of the proposed variance estimator under nonrandom response mechanism is investigated through numerical simulation.

본 논문은 농어가경제조사에서 발생하는 무응답을 처리하는 방법에 관한 것이다. 농어가경제조사는 모두 층화다단표집을 한 후 가중평균으로 모평균을 추정하므로 이에 적합한 대체법으로 가중핫덱 대체법을 고려하여 가중핫덱 대체 절차와 모평균 추정법, 그리고 대응되는 분산추정법을 고찰하였다. 그리고 모의실험을 통하여 가중핫덱 대체가 두 조사에 적용될 수 있음을 보였고 수정된 잭나이프 분산추정법을 사용하면 추정치의 신뢰도도 효과적으로 나타낼 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 두 조사에 적용할 수 있는 대체군 형성 절차를 제시하고, 예로써 각각 4가지 방안을 비교, 분석하였다. 그리고 그 중 가장 효율적인 방안을 결과로써 제시하였다.

A data set having missing observations is often completed by using imputed values. In this paper, performances and accuracy of five imputation procedures are evaluated when missing values exist only on the response variable in the exponential regression model. Our simulation results show that adjusted exponential regression imputation procedure can be well used to compensate for missing data, in particular, compared to other imputation procedures. An illustrative example using real data is provided.

A dataset having missing observations is often completed by using imputed values. In this paper the performances and accuracy of complete case methods and four imputation procedures are evaluated when missing values exist only on the response variables in the Weibull regression model. Our simulation results show that compared to other imputation procedures, in particular, hotdeck and Weibull regression imputation procedure can be well used to compensate for missing data. In addition an illustrative real data is given.

'Complete-case analysis' is easy to carry out and it may be fine with small amount of missing data. However, this method is not recommended in general because the estimates are usually biased and not efficient. There are numerous alternatives to complete-case analysis. One alternative is the single imputation. Some of the most common single imputation methods are reviewed and the performances are compared by simulation studies.
