How does the number of imputations affect the accuracy of multiple imputation?
- More imputations, less accuracy
- More imputations, more accuracy
- Number of imputations doesn't affect accuracy
- Only one imputation is needed for full accuracy
The number of imputations directly affects the accuracy of multiple imputation. More imputations result in more accurate estimates, up to a point. Although the exact number depends on the proportion and nature of the missing data, often 20 to 100 imputations are recommended in the literature.
