| Subject | st: st: Working With mi impute mvn for missing data |
| Date | Mon, 25 Apr 2011 17:24:23 -0500 |
Dear List, I have a dataset with 7 ordinal variables of interest that are MAR (Missing at Random) but NOT monotone. I am proceeding with imputation using mi impute mvn VARLIST method with Add (9). The result I get is 9 imputations of my 7 variables of interest from observation that are missing on those variables. I need to determine if the mean average on those variables differ significantly for two cohorts, but while there is mi estimates regress there is no apparent mi estimates ttest. Should I average the means of all 9 imputations and conduct the traditional ttest? Does anyone have any other suggestion? Many thanks! * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
