Dear Statalisters,
I know this is not a Stata-question per se but I know of no better forum to ask
it to, so:
With item non-response in a probit model, is it "ok" to impute the missing
values of a binary explanatory variable with the mean? I suspect it should be
ok with a linear probability (OLS) model but am not sure about the consequences
in the probit framework (due to the non-linearity, the imputed values will
impact the other variables, also, right?). I would be most grateful for any
insights on this issue (and imputation in general).
Cheers,
Niels-Hugo
