In SPSS you can limit the outcome to within a particular range of the entire
data for multiple imputation, but that won't take into account the potential
range given the already binned data (eg 3 can be from 1-5, 8 can be from
6-10 etc). If you look on google scholar you can find some implementations
that take that into account,
https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C44&q=interval+censored+multiple+imputation&btnG=.
Sometimes this data is called *interval censored* or *binned* data. It sort
of depends on the type of analysis you want to do with the data how you
might approach it. Simply descriptive you have bounds on the counts, and you
can subsequently bound various summary statistics and simply tests of
differences. If estimating as a dependent variable, you may do some type of
censored regression approach. If using as an independent variable that is
where I have seen imputation used. See
