st: Test for missingness type
Dear Statalisters,
please apologize that my question is not directly related to Stata, but 
maybe someone can show me the right way!
I have a dataset with one variable (x) partially missing.  I want to 
test if the missingness mechanisms is nonignorable (data is MNAR), ie if 
P(r=1|x,z)  does depend on x, where r is the binary missingness 
indicator and z are completely observed covariates.
How can I do this?  As I understand, multiple imputation requires the 
data to be MAR, so I cannot use -ice- to test  for the type of 
missingness. Am I right?
Any suggestions are highly appreciated!
Best wishes,
Thomas
