Abstract: We present a Wilson interval for binomial proportions for use with multiple imputation for missing data. Using simulation studies, we show that it can have better repeated sampling properties than the usual confidence interval for binomial proportions based on Rubin’s combining rules. Further, in contrast to the usual multiple imputation confidence interval for proportions, the multiple imputation Wilson interval is always bounded by zero and one. Supplementary material is available online.
