Re: st: Using -estout- with multiply-imputed data: how to report r2 and r2_a

["Nic" <3817629@hotmail.ca>]

Yulia, thanks for your very helpful reply. And thanks also for emailing me 
the modified mibeta.ado.

I am now able to use the -estout- package with -mibeta- and produce tables 
with r2 and r2_a summary statistics. Perfect!

You mentioned as a side note in your reply to use caution with the -post- 
option. In particular, you mention that the (correctly computed) p-values 
reported by -mi estimate- (and thus your wrapper, -mibeta-) may not 
correspond to the results presented when creating a table with the -estout- 
package. Or in other words, if I understand correctly, -estout- likely 
computes p-values using incorrect (not coefficient-specific) degrees of 
freedom. The result will be tables that have incorrectly reported 
statistical significance.

So if I understand correctly, it sounds like -mi estimate- and -estout- 
independently compute p-values. Is this correct? I was under the impression 
that -estout- was just using the p-values already computed by -mi estimate-. 
It sounds like I should not be using -estout- to report p-values for 
multiply-imputed data.

Thanks again.
