great introduction to multiple imputation and first by the inventor of the technique

This book is a companion to the text by Rubin and Little. It specializes in one particular technique (multiple imputation)that has been highly successful particularly in nonrespnse surveys. Rubin has had a lot of good practical experience in missing data from his years of doing survey research at the Education Testing Service (ETS). He share this experience, knowledge and original ideas in this excellent text!
