Sommario/riassunto

This title demonstrates how nonresponse in sample surveys and censuses can be handled by replacing each missing value with two or more multiple imputations. It clearly illustrates the advantages of modern computing to handle such key surveys, and demonstrates the benefit of this statistical technique.
