Impact of Mode-Based Imputation on ACS Estimates

Written by:

The goal of this research was to examine via data analysis whether American Community Survey estimates with missing survey items imputed by models including response mode as an explanatory variable are markedly different from analogous estimates based on a similar model ignoring mode. To make the results relevant to the question of whether American Community Survey hot-deck imputation methodology should be modified to account explicitly for response mode, the relation between item imputations done via fitted models as opposed to hot-deck was also explored.
