Hi Junjia,
An example of hot-deck imputation: Suppose that the design of a random
survey requires responses from four specific households in a particular
neighborhood, but no one can be located in Household #4. The responses from
Household #3 are duplicated and used as the imputed values for Household #3.
The logic of this 'hot deck' procedure is that values from a neighbor are
likely to be better estimates than overall sample means.
cheers, Dale Berger
