Multiple Imputation for Missing data : Concepts and NewDevelopment (Version )Yang C. Yuan, SAS Institute Inc., Rockville, MDAbstractMultiple Imputation provides a useful strategy for dealingwith data sets with Missing values. Instead of filling in asingle value for each Missing value, Rubin s (1987) multipleimputation procedure replaces each Missing value with aset of plausible values that represent the uncertainty aboutthe right value to impute. These multiply imputed data setsare then analyzed by using standard procedures for com-plete data and combining the results from these matter which complete- data analysis is used, the pro-cess of combining results from different imputed data setsis essentially the same.
complete data sets. Ignorable Missing-Data Mechanism Let Y be the n×p matrix of complete data, which is not fully observed, and denote the observed part of Y by Y obs and the missing part by Y mis. The SAS multiple imputation procedures assume that the missing data are missing at random (MAR), that is, the probability that an observation is
