Articles and reports: 12-001-X197700100007Description: The paper attempts to examine some of the procedures used for compensation for non-response. Using the concept of response probabilities, a simple response - non-response error model is developed and the components of response and non-response errors are identified under various imputation procedures. A graph is also given in order to provide an idea of the magnitude of the nonresponse bias in a particular situation. Two examples of the practical application of imputation are discussed.
