Imputation Model

Direct assignment works well if occupation titles are available (licensing, public employment, survey data), but a considerable proportion of wage records won’t be matched.  This module required building probabilistic models to impute an occupation code that incorporates what we learn, statistically, from the direct assignments. 

 

This diagram shows the workflow for the random assignment model:
