Abstract

When the standard inference is to be used with complete data and nonresponse is ignorable, then multiple imputations should be created as repetitions under a Bayesian normal model. Many Bayesian models besides the normal, however, approximately yield the standard inference with complete data and thus many such models can be used to create proper imputations. We consider the Bayesian bootstrap (BB) application.
