Background

• This topic aims to bring together contributions
  that contain innovative applications and new
  theory related to aspects of edit and imputation.

Topic contents

• Editing and imputation with the aim of
• guaranteeing hard edits (e.g. balance edits)
• including soft edits in imputation
• choosing the most reliable method in terms of
  accuracy in the case of imputation of binary
  variables
• Guaranteeing consistency in the use of different
  sources.
• Outlier detection for compositional data.
• Software of EI
