Abstract

Missing or incomplete data cases are a problem in all types of statistical analyses. In disease surveillance, this problem inhibits determining the actual incidence of a disease event and monitoring the disease occurrence. Several statistical techniques have been developed to impute values for incomplete data cases. We present a model-based approach to the imputation of missing data elements as applied to determining the incidence of home injury deaths.
