Abstract
An imputation procedure is used to estimate the effects of nonresponse on issues of substantive interest in a social survey. Using this method, one can determine that nonresponse bias may have differential effects on variable means, depending on the combination of independent variables used in the ensuing substantive analysis of data from the survey.Keywords
