Abstract

We present three different methods based on the conditional mean imputation when binary explanatory variables are incomplete. Apart from the single imputation and multiple imputation especially the so-called pi imputation is presented as a new procedure. Seven procedures are compared in a simulation experiment when missing data are confined to one independent binary variable: complete case analysis, zero order regression, categorical zero order regression, pi imputation, single imputation, multiple imputation, modified first order regression. After a brief theoretical description of the simulation experiment, MSE-ratio, variance and bias are used to illustrate differences within and between the approaches.
