Dear Statalist,

I am running a random intercept model using XTMIXED on multiply imputed data that were generated using the ice.ado command.

My question and concern: output in the Stata window is different from that which is saved in the returned r(table) matrix. Why does this happen? Which is the truth? Below is an example. The 0.807018 coefficient for intgrp_1 turns into .74022102 in r(table)!
