A Note on Rubin's Statistical Matching Using File Concatenation With Adjusted Weights and Multiple Imputations

Statistical matching has been used for more than 30 years to combine information contained in two sample survey files. Rubin (1986) outlined an imputation procedure for statistical matching that is different from almost all other work on this topic. Here we evaluate and extend Rubin's procedure.
