| contents | Survey data typically have missing values due to unit and item nonresponse. Sometimes, survey organizations know the marginal distributions of certain categorical variables in the survey. As shown in previous work, survey organizations can leverage these distributions in multiple imputation for nonignorable unit nonresponse, generating imputations that result in plausible completed-data estimates for the variables with known margins. However, this prior work does not use the design weights for unit nonrespondents; rather, it relies on a set of fabricated weights for these units. We extend this previous work to utilize the design weights for all sampled units. We illustrate the approach using simulation studies. |
