Description Author(s) References
De Jong (2012), De Jong, van Buuren and Spiess (2016) introduced a new imputation method based on generalized additive models for location, scale, and shape (Rigby and Stasinopoulos, 2005), which is a class of univariate regression models, where the assumption of an exponential family is relaxed and replaced by a general distribution family. This allows the a more flexible modelling than standard parametric imputation models of not only the location (e.g. the mean), but also the scale (e.g. variance), and the shape (e.g., skewness and kurtosis) of the conditional distribution of the dependent variable given all other variables.
