Preliminary analysis
DEPARTMENT OF
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
• 8 covariates in total, first 4
shown here.
• There appears to be a pattern
of two clusters in the response
DVHST94 (below 0.5 and
above 0.5).
• DVBMI94 appears to have
some “wild” values ( = 96)
– 43 observations , all males.
(3.9% of males sample)
– Wild values were replaced
with the mean DVBMI94 of
males
– DVBMI94 transformation:
NEW.DVBMI94 = abs (DVBMI94 – 22)

Preliminary analysis
DEPARTMENT OF
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
•
There are no obvious linear
patterns between the
covariates and the response
DVHST94
•
DVPP94 is recoded as
dichotomous:
NEW.DVPP94 = 0 (91% of observations)
NEW.DVPP94 > 0 (9% of observations)
•
The AGEGRP covariate is
recoded to NEW.AGE
NEW.AGE = mid range value (AGEGRP) – 20

PROC MI & MIANALYZE Method
PROC MI
1 By default generates 5 imputation values for each missing value
2 Imputation method: MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo)
 EM algorithm determines initial values
 MCMC repeatedly simulates the distribution of interest from which the
imputed values are drawn
3 Assumption: Data follows multivariate normal distribution
PROC REG
 Fits five weighted linear regression models to
the five complete data sets obtained from PROC MI
(used by_imputation_statement )
PROC MIANALIZE
Reads the parameter estimates and associated
covariance matrix from the analysis
performed on the multiple imputed data sets
and derives valid statistics for the parameters

TRANSCAN(Splus,Hmisc)
Frank Harrell
Transforms continuous and categorical variables to have maximum
correlation with the best linear combination of the other variables.
Advantage:
It approximates the multiple imputation algorithm described by
Rubin’s Bayesian bootstrap.
•Does not need normality
assumption or symmetry
of residuals.
• Draws a sample of size r from r non-missing residuals.
• Chooses a sample of size m from this sample of size r with
replacement. m is the number of missing values.
Yobs. , X obs 
LS
Bootstrap
(ˆ1,..., ˆr )
Bootstrap
(ˆ1 ,..., ˆr' )
'
(ˆ1* ,..., ˆm* )
• Generates imputed values with the linear imputation model and the
bootstrapped residuals.
•Does shrinkage to avoid
overfitting
Disadvantage:
•“Freezes” the imputation
model before drawing the
multiple imputations.
This algorithm is repeated B times to obtain the multiple imputed data
sets that are analyzed using WLS with the function LM.

Conclusions about the
missing pattern
• The missing values of the response variable DVHST94
are not MCAR. The probability of missing depends
primarily on the age and sex covariates, therefore the
missing values are MAR.
SSC Conference Hamilton Ontario May 2002

DEPARTMENT OF
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
Conclusions about
multiple imputation
• Transcan function appeared to perform better than
PROC MI for imputing and analyzing this data set given
non-normality.
• Random hot deck MI with bootstrap gave significantly
biased results. This approach does not take into account
the information provided by the covariates therefore is
not appropriate for data MAR.
SSC Conference Hamilton Ontario May 2002
19
DEPARTMENT OF
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
Conclusions about the
data analysis
• The health status of the population tends decreases with age.
• People with higher income tend to have better health than people
with less income.
• People with lower health status demand more medical services
(visits to a doctor).
• People that are propense to depression have lower health.
• Smoking does not appear to have a decisive influence on the
health status.
SSC Conference Hamilton Ontario May 2002
20
Future work
DEPARTMENT OF
MATHEMATICS AND STATISTICS
• GLM could be used to model the categorical response GQ.H1
using a multinomial logistic model to impute the missing
categorical responses
• Interactions of the significant variables with the insignificant
variables should be explored in order to further assess the
concomitant effects (e.g. smoking and depression).
