Hi Maarten,
I just wanted to check-in with you on my below message,
which might have been lost in the shuffle of trying to
correct my posting dilemma. Did I carryout the below syntax
correctly based on your suggestion? Thank you.
Best,
Frank

Hi Maarten,
First, I opened the data file in which I saved the stacked
imputed data sets: m(5), each set n = 3,300. Next, I ran the
below syntax (for my below example, I only included a few
predictor variables and the criterion variable pforce). I
obtained coefficients for the run. Did I do this correctly?
Please remember that I am a Stata beginner. Thank you.
Best Frank
----------------------------------------------------------
mim, storebv: regress pforce assign time day
foreach var of varlist pforce assign time day {
gen double z`var' =.
}
forvalues i = 1/5 {
foreach var of varlist pforce assign time day {
sum `var' if _mj ==`i'
replace z `var' = (`var' - r(mean)) / r(sd) if _mj
== `i'
}
}
mim: regress zpforce zassign ztime zday

This is one way of getting standardized coefficients after
multiple imputation:
*------------------- begin example
----------------------------
sysuse auto, clear
ice rep78 price mpg, m(5) clear
foreach var of varlist rep78 price mpg {
gen double z`var' = .
}
forvalues i = 1/5 {
foreach var of varlist rep78 price mpg {
sum `var' if _mj == `i'
replace z`var' = (`var' - r(mean)) / r(sd) if _mj

}
}
mim : reg zprice zrep78 zmpg
*--------------------- end example

Hope this helps,

Thank you. Your thoughts were helpful, and I also hope
that
an experienced person with the -mim- command might
offer
some insight.
Best,
Frank

You can find a general recipe for recovering the beta
coefficients here:
http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2009-03/msg00154.html
As I have never used -mim-, I am highly reluctant to
endorse any calculation in connection with it. AFAIK,
P.
Royston, its author, does not post to the list
regularly, so
he is unlikely to comment, either. But there are
probably
more experienced listers who can step in...
Note that my -mata- code was way too complicated as
you
have now revealed that you are a beginner. Sorry about
that...
