st: Restricting range for predictions from multiple imputation

[Shehzad Ali <drshehzad_ali@yahoo.com>]

Hi listers,

This question comes from a colleague who is using Stata's -ice- module to impute 
a continuous variable. Many imputed values are negative which are not sensible 
in her analysis. I was wondering if there was a way to specify a restricted 
range to ensure that all imputed values are positive or within a specified 
range. Someone mentioned that SAS does that by discarding out of range 
predictions and then re-imputing. I wonder if there is a way to deal with this 
in Stata?

Thanks,
Shehzad
