Abstract: We respond to Madley-Dowd et al's recent article in American Journal of Epidemiology. We show that standard imputation algorithms can fail for simple graphs (such as those used in Madley-Dowd et al's simulation study) even when the full data distribution is identified and an appropriate imputation estimator would be straightforward to design.
