imputation for item nonresponse or response inconsistency
imputation is the substitution of constructed values for items that are either not answered of whose answers are inconsistent with other responses in the same interview. when imputation is driven by inconsistency between answers, it is based on other answers from the same respondent and reflects the researcher's judgment regarding how to best resolve the inconsistency. when imputation is driven by item nonresponse, the constructed values are typically based on some consideration of other cases in the data set, along with other variables in the same case. consider, for example, the 11% of respondents in our example who did not answer wether they had purchased a gun for protection. if other answers from a particular nonrespondent to this item indicate that she is a suburban female, aged 65 or older
