[Chapter 6 Table 11.2] Typo when describing Florida's numbers

david-jankoski opened this issue · 1 comments

The table here says that Florida has population of 11,197 according to the Multiple Imputation method, whereas the text here says a different number 5,814 which i believe is a typo.

@tbl-imputationoptions makes it clear that none of these approaches should be naively imposed. For instance, Florida's population should be 8,277. Imputing the mean across all the states would result in an estimate of 4,308, and multiple imputation results in an estimate of 5,814, both of which are too low. If imputation is the answer, it may be better to look for a different question. It is worth pointing out that it was developed for specific circumstances of limiting public disclosure of private information [@myboynick].

It's a very simple change which if you agree and approve - I can make a fix PR and submit it.

Thank you for writing and making this book freely available. I enjoyed exploring many of the interesting references you leave throughout like the one on Tukey's The Future of Data Analysis.

Thank you very much for this. Will update the website and acknowledge you.
