Summary
A new imputation method for incomplete data is suggested, to be used with non-random multivariate observations. The principle is to fill the gaps in a data set so that the partial complete-data configuration and the total filled-in configuration are similar, according to a matrix correlation coefficient. The optimality criteria are Escoufier’s RV and Procrustes normalized statistic. Three examples are illustrated.
