Large SEs after imputation
Posted: Thu Nov 01, 2012 12:18 pm
Hi,
I'm just getting started with Realcom Impute and I wonder if you could help me please. My model includes one variable with missing values and 6 (including dependent var) with no missing vals. Prior to running multiple imputation, it looks ok in MlwiN; i.e. parameter estimates and SEs look reasonable. Once I run multiple imputation in Realcom Impute, the SEs for the variables with no missing values become really huge and the parameter estimate and SE for the variable with imputed values are both 0.000. I think it maybe that I'm doing something simple incorrectly; i.e. when I click imputation -> start analysis; things look ok, values look reasonable, but they are in blue. Once I press start or more, PE and SE for variable with imputed values become zero and SEs for other variables get very very large. Is there something else I should do at this point rather than clicking start/more?
Many thanks,
Lorraine
