I m p u t a t i o n 1. Drag-and-drop the variables MeasA_1, MeasA_2, MeasA_3, MeasB_1, MeasB_2, MeasB_3 into the Variables to Impute field. 2. Drag and drop the variables SYMPDUR, AGE, MeasA_0, and MeasB_0 into the Fixed Covariates field. 3. As there is no Grouping variable in this data set, we can leave this field blank. Non-Monotone Selecting the Non-monotone tab allows you to add or remove covariates from the logistic model used for imputing the non-monotone missing values in the data set. (These can be identified in the Missing Data Pattern mentioned earlier in the Predictive Model example.) You select the + or - signs to expand or contract the list of covariates for each imputation variable. The list of covariates for each imputation variable will be made up of the variables specified as Fixed Covariates in the Base Setup tab, and all of the other imputation variables. Variables can be added and removed from this list of covariates by simply dragging and dropping the variable from the covariate list to the variables field, or vice versa. Even though a variable appears in the list of covariates for a particular imputation variable, it might not be used in the final model. Imputation User Manual 37
