When implementing MI, however, users need to make important decisions to obtain estimates with good statistical properties. One such decision involves the choice of imputation model–the joint modeling (JM) versus fully conditional specification (FCS) approach. Another involves the choice of method to handle interactions. These include imputing the interaction term as any other variable (active imputation), or imputing the main effects and then deriving the interaction (passive imputation). Our study investigates the best approach to perform MI in the presence of interaction effects involving two categorical variables. Such effects warrant special attention as they involve multiple correlated parameters that are handled differently under JM and FCS modeling. Through an extensive simulation study, we compared active, passive and an improved passive approach under FCS, as JM precludes passive imputation. We additionally compared JM and FCS techniques using active imputation. Performance between active and passive imputation was comparable. The improved passive approach proved superior to the other two particularly when the number of parameters corresponding to the interaction was large. JM without rounding and FCS using active imputation were also mostly comparable, with JM outperforming FCS when the number of parameters was large. In a direct comparison of JM active and FCS improved passive, the latter was the clear winner. We recommend improved passive imputation under FCS along with sensitivity analyses to handle multi-level interaction terms.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48877,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Methodology","volume":"27 ","pages":"Pages 82-99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.stamet.2015.06.001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55093038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These intervals are widely used in clinical, environmental, biological and industrial applications, including quality control and environmental monitoring, to help determine limits for detection or assessment monitoring. In many of these applications the measurement of the variable of interest is costly and/or destructive but a small number of sampling units can be ranked easily by using expert-opinion knowledge or inexpensive and easily obtained measurements from these units. In this paper, we construct tolerance intervals based on the expensive measurements that are obtained using randomized nomination sampling (RNS) with the help of inexpensive auxiliary information. We study the performance of our proposed RNS-based tolerance intervals based on the corresponding coverage probabilities and the necessary sample size for their existence with those based on </span></span>simple random sampling (SRS). The efficiency of the constructed RNS-based tolerance intervals compared to their SRS counterparts is discussed. We investigate the performance of RNS-based tolerance intervals for different values of the design parameters and various population shapes. We find the values of the design parameters which improve RNS over SRS. The RNS design in presence of ranking error is discussed and a new method for estimating ranking error probabilities is proposed. Theoretical results are augmented with numerical evaluations and a case study based on a fish mercury level dataset.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48877,"journal":{"name":"Statistical Methodology","volume":"26 ","pages":"Pages 16-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.stamet.2015.03.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"55092888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
