Daniel,
You need to check: ipolate and impute for improper imputation (averaging), and ice and hotdeck for proper imputation (use findit to download them).

Asunto: st: FW: Imputation Commands ?
Hi Statalisters,
I'm having trouble finding the proper command to impute values in a given row of data. Hoping someone could direct me appropriately.
Consider a row of data as follows
obs x1 x2 x3 x4 x5
-- -- -- -- -- -- --
1 2 4 . 5 1
2 . 4 1 3 0
3 1 . . . 1
What I want to do is to fill-in the missing values as a function of the surrounding row/variable values. I presume I want to average a given missing-value's surrounding +-3 values and impute accordingly.
What command or commands should I investigate?
Thank you for your time,
Best regards ---
