  • Retrieve/list omitted observations from multiple imputation

    Hi Statalist,

    I performed multiple imputation and received the following message in my output:

    "Performing EM optimization: note: 37 observations omitted from EM estimation because of all imputation variables missing."

    Is there a way to retrieve or list these 37 observations?

    Thanks so much!

      maybe I'm missing something but I don't see how #2 is responsive as -mi extract- is used to extract one (or more) full sets of data from the imputed data set;

      I don't know how to use any -mi- command to do what I understand the OP to be requesting; however, these should be findable using either -misstable- or the user-written -missings-; for -missings-, try -search- or -findit- to locate and download; for -misstable-, see
      Code:
      help misstable

        My reading of #1 is that the OP has already performed multiple imputation and when doing analysis, there is a warning that there are missing values in the imputed datasets. If the OP is curious, he can extract the imputed datasets and look at what observations have missing values, hence the suggestion. But I may have misread the problem.
