Table 4.

Model fit for the Random Forest estimation of missing values. R2 values are internally calculated by Random Forest using the OOB (“out of bag”) data that were not included in the bootstrapped sample for a particular decision tree. R2 values for questions that were only estimated for men or were estimated for both men and women are labeled with M and W, respectively. Unmarked values apply to women. Questions not in the Table did not need imputation.
