AW: Re: st: remaining missings after multiple imputation

[Anne Jurczok <jurczok@uni-potsdam.de>]

Hello,
 First of all thank you for the advice with the if function in ice. I  
will certainly try it as well.
Do these observations contain only missing values on
the variables you use for the imputation?...

...I looked at my variables which have missings despite the imputation  
and found no coherent pattern. Do you have any idea?
Best, Anne

It is implicit in the sense that -ice- allows you to specify
an -if- statement. So, you could type something like:

gen byte soft = lnvermgen < .a
ice <varlist> if soft, <other options>
Not all cases of my dataset are considered for the
imputation.
