Abstract
In this paper, we describe how to use multiple imputation semiparametr ically to obtain estimates of parameters and their standard errors whe n some individuals have missing data. The methods given require the in vestigator to know or be able to estimate the process generating the m issing data but requires no full distributional form for the data. The method is especially useful for non-standard problems, such as estima ting the median when data are missing.
