New subject: Question on Amelial

6 Dec 2004

Dear Dr. King,

I was finally succesful to run AMELIA program and obtained five data sets.
The descriptives statistics indicate that, though, some value imputation
goes beyond the range of a variable. For example, the range between 1 "not
at all"  and "5" very much" does not hold any longer. Do you think
it's
okay?

Second question:
I'm fitting SEM via LISREL. To my understanding, I need to run my model five
times, produce each gamma and beta coefficient with standard errors five
times and, finally, average the coefficients and SEs across the five data
sets. Am I correct?

I'd really appreciate your reply...

Sincerely,
Hye-Jin Paek
