Abstract

Missing values are common issued faced by researchers in various fields. How we deal with missing values may have a significant influence on the analysis. In order to deal with issues caused by missing values, various imputation methods are developed. In this report, we propose a Bayesian method for imputing missing values of ordinal responses using a probit model. By simulation examples, we show our method works fairly well. And it is demonstrated through real data from NHANES.
