If it's not in the syntax diagram, then you cannot do this. I think -ice- suite by Patrick Royston supports weights. If you have complex survey data, then MI gives wrong answers, anyway. You'd need to go into considerable lengths to make that right. > 2.

You would generate the squares of your variables. I think there's a debate as to whether they need to be passive or imputed variables. Either the MI manual or Royston's papers address this issue. > 3.

Do I need to do this by hand, given the model's coefficients? You would probably need to generate a set of predicted probabilities for every set of imputed values, and then aggregate them. That's a working solution; I cannot say whether it is a conceptually valid solution. -- Stas Kolenikov, also found at http://stas.kolenikov.name Small print: I use this email account for mailing lists only. * * For searches and help try: * http://www.stata.com/help.cgi?search * http://www.stata.com/support/statalist/faq * http://www.ats.ucla.edu/stat/stata/
