    Is there anybody who familiar with the issue?

    Hi Amir, here is a text by Little and Rubin that covers various methods of handling missing values:

    Statistical Analysis with Missing Data, Second Edition


    I never heard of "mass imputation", but when I Googled it, several references came up. You can also Google "multiple imputation Raghunathan" for a good article on multiple imputation, which we have used several times. SAS software is readily available for multiple imputation, but you have to know what you are doing.

    Best wishes,

    Nayak
