Abstract

In this paper, I compare theory-laden perceptions with imputed data sets. The
similarities between the two allow me to show how the phenomenon of theory-ladenness
can manifest itself in statistical analyses. More importantly, elucidating the differences between them will allow me to broaden the focus of the existing
literature on theory-ladenness and to introduce some much-needed nuances.
