Hell all,
I'm curious about the level of effect nonnormal distributions have on imputation's efficacy. Specifically, I understand that the EM algorithm works on the assumption of normally distributed data. However, if one imputes before transformation of skewed data, are the estimates markedly distorted?
Thanks for any input,
Jason
