ecause, even though the parent-child pair relationship had been established, it often was unclear<br />
whether there was a second "parent" in the household. Other domains had very little uncertainty.<br />
The counts of the number of children in the parent-focus parent-child domain were almost<br />
always definitively determined.<br />

6.3.3 Creation of Imputation-Revised Multiplicity Variables<br />

In many cases where the pair relationships were not defined, multiplicity counts also<br />
were not defined. In addition, there were a h<strong>and</strong>ful of cases where multiplicity counts were not<br />
determined even when the pair relationship was known. In all of these cases, imputation was<br />
required to determine the multiplicity count. As with the pair relationship imputation, missing<br />
multiplicities were imputed using the PMN method described in Appendix N. In this section, the<br />
application of PMN to the imputation of multiplicities is described. Since only the multiplicity in<br />
the second stage was imputed for each pair, the imputation was univariate in the sense that no<br />
sequential models were necessary. However, in some cases, several variables were associated<br />
with a single model, as described below.<br />
6.3.3.1 Setup for Model Building<br />
Multiplicity counts were defined only within the relevant domain, which, in turn,<br />
depended upon the pair relationship. For the sibling-sibling pairs, four separate imputations were<br />
