Dear Mr. Weiss,
Thanks for providing the example data. I really like the idea of
checking different percentage of missing to compare the results from
the two methods.
This is what's shown when changing the percentage of missing:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
when missing percentage is zero: coincide
when missing percentage is 0.01: differences are very small
when missing percentage is 0.01: differences are still small
when missing percentage is 0.3: differences are obviously larger
----------------------------------------------------------------
So, I'm thinking this shows well that the missing values explains the
differences of the two methods. They give the same results when
adjusting the missing values.
Thanks !
Mandy
