Multiple Imputation of Missing Values: Update

2005 The Stata Journal Promoting communications on statistics and Stata 754 citations

Abstract

This article describes a substantial update to mvis, which brings it more closely in line with the feature set of S. van Buuren and C. G. M. Oudshoorn's implementation of the MICE system in R and S-PLUS (for details, see http://www.multiple-imputation.com ). To make a clear distinction from mvis, the principal program of the new Stata release is called ice. I will give details of how to use the new features and a practical illustrative example using real data. All the facilities of mvis are retained by ice. Some improvements to micombine for computing estimates from multiply imputed datasets are also described.
