Term:
Nearest-neighbour Imputation Methodology
Definition:

Similar to the Fellegi-Holt method in that it considers all edits concurrently, does not explicitly specify imputation actions and imputes from a single donor. NIM looks at each failed edit record
to identify minimum-change imputation actions conditional on the potential donors available.
