Thus whereas the former doctrine insists that the imputation of Adam?s sin precedes corruption of nature and is reckoned to be its cause, the latter doctrine maintains that the imputation of Adam?s sin follows hereditary depravity and is its effect.

Edwards builds his case for imputation on the assumption of a divinely ordained unity between Adam and his posterity (the alleged propriety of which he will in due course seek to prove; at present it is assumed for the sake of argument).

Imputation, the practice of 'filling in' missing data with plausible values, is an attractive approach to analyzing incomplete data.
An imputation model should be chosen to be (at least approximately) compatible with the analyses to be performed on the imputed datasets.
Imputations may in principle be created under any kind of assumptions or model for the missing-data mechanism, and the resulting inferences will be valid under that mechanism.

Imputations are needed since the data provider exempted a high number of enterprises from the reply to some questions in order to reduce their response burden (intentional item non-response).
Pure regression imputation, thus replacing the missing values with predicted values from the estimated regression model, is not competitive, since it gives a high number of negative imputed values in our case (the same problem is usual in less complicated data sets as well).
We here emphasise on imputation variance, the variability of which is derived from various alternatives to rank the respondents and the non-respondents, and to find the nearest respondent for each non-respondent, correspondingly.

 Speakers Forum discussion on multiple imputation by Don Rubin
One reason for this growth of multiple imputation is its suitability for modern computing environments, with the division of the two tasks of creating and analyzing a multiply-imputed data set.
The great statistical advantage of a monotone pattern is that the creation of multiple imputations in a multivariate data set is reduced to a series of single variable imputations, which allows tremendous modeling flexibility.
The second currently available general method for creating multiple imputations is to specify one encompassing multivariate model for the entire data set (at least conditional on completely observed variables), and then to use fully principled likelihood/Bayesian techniques for analysis under that model.

 Multiple Imputation for Missing Data
Single imputation does not reflect the uncertainty about the predictions of the unknown missing values, and the resulting estimated variances of the parameter estimates will be biased towards zero.
The SAS multiple imputation procedures assume that the missing data are missing at random (MAR), that is, the probability that an observation is missing may depend on the observed values but not the missing values.
For more information, refer to the paper "Multiple Imputation for Missing Data: Concepts and New Development" and the documentation on the MI and MIANALYZE procedures, which is available for downloading from the SAS/STAT Documentation section on this Community site.

The effect was to throw into the highest relief the threefold doctrine of imputation, and to make manifest as never before the dependency of the great doctrines of sin, satisfaction, and justification upon it" (Warfield, Benjamin Studies in Theology, [New York: Oxford University Press, 1932], p.306).
The importance of the doctrine of imputation is that it is the hinge on which these three great doctrines turn, and the guardian of their purity" (Ibid., p.305).

 TREE BASED CLASSIFIERS FOR CONDITIONAL INCREMENTAL MISSING DATA IMPUTATION
As a result, this imputation process is incremental, because as it goes on more and more information is added to the data matrix, both respect the rows and the columns.
Furthermore, the imputation is also conditional because, in the joint imputation of multiple inputs, the subsequent imputations are conditioned on previously filled-in inputs.
An illustration of the incremental imputation process: a) original data matrix; b) data rearrangement based on the number of missingness in each column; c) data rearrangement based on the number of missingness in each row and definition of the lexicographical order; d) the rearranged data matrix after the first iteration of the imputation process.

The effects also of the imputation of Christ's personal righteousness are truly found in those that are in him by electing love and unfeigned faith, even holy and heavenly dispositions; but a personal act is one thing, and the effects of that another.
The act may be done by, and be only inherent in one; the imputation of the merit of the act, as also the effects of the same, may be in a manner universal, extending itself unto the most, or all.

 New Jersey Divorce Article - Charles F. Vuotto   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The California Court of Appeals held that the imputation of income to investments was appropriate in the context of a child support calculation, even where the payor’s assets had historically been non-income producing.
For instance, if the parties lived in a $300,000 home during the marriage and now one spouse uses $600,000 of his or her assets to buy a new home, $300,000 should be imputed with a reasonable rate of return.
This imputation occurred only because the litigant failed to address the issue of what interest rate was being paid and does not provide any guidance on the complex tasks suggested in Miller.

Here then is an imputation to men of what does not belong to them, and to which they have in themselves no claim.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.’ That is, blessed is the man who, although a sinner, is regarded and treated as righteous.”83 To reject the imputed righteousness of Christ in favor of an infused righteousness inherent in man, as Romanism does, is an explicit rejection of the gospel.
Given Romanism’s defective view of the atonement and their rejection of justification by the imputation of Christ’s righteousness, they developed a system of salvation by works that flows from grace.
