Abstract: mi mvncat assigns "final" values to multiple imputed categorical variables, using the procedure described by Allison (2002:40). Categorical variables with k levels are supposed to be represented with k - 1 dummies in the dataset. After these dummies are (multiple) imputed using multivariate normal regression (mi impute mvn), mi mvncat assigns values 0 or 1 to each dummy, ensuring that dummies representing one categorical variable add up to 1.
