Subject: Missing values analysis
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Hello, I am entering the unfamiliar territory so please forgive if my question is naïve or parts of it incorrect.
Question: Is there a way in MVA in spss to have multiple imputation of missing data? In other words, is it possible to run, let's say, a few EM runs with the same predicted and predicting variables in the syntax and get slightly different imputed values on each run?
Thanks.

If you have only one case in that situation, you can issue the command
as
follows:
IF (SYSMIS(Q1))q1=9:00.
But you may have other cases with the time missing, and you may not
want all
of them assigned 9 hours. If it is so, you better allocate the new
value
based on the relevant case's ID:
If (ID=93869)q1=9:00.
I have not considered possible further complications arising from the
fact
that your variable is a date variable (in hours). The simple statement
q=9:00 may not work, but I don't have time to go into that now.
