Data Editing/Imputation Methodologies of Expenditure Variables. The general methodology used for editing and imputing expenditure data is described below. Neither the dental events nor other medical expenditures (such as glasses, contact lenses, and hearing devices) were included in the Medical Provider Component (MPC). Therefore, although the general procedures remain the same, for dental and other medical expenditures, editing and imputation methodologies were applied only to household-reported data. Specific methodologies for editing and imputing dental expenditures follows the General Imputation Methodology section.
