Hello,
I have a question about exposition and was seeking some examples. I'm using
Amelia (and then Clarify for analysis) in a paper and am trying to decide
how much description of the imputation procedure I should include in my
discussion of methods. In the interest of transparency and replication, I
always try to err on the side of giving more explanation of what I've done.
But as we all know, page space can be tight; also, I don't want readers to
get so hung up on the imputation aspect that they miss out on the
substantive implications of the paper.
Have you seen good examples of published work (or conference papers?) that
used Ameila and did an admirable job of justifying and explaining its use?
I wondered if people tended to integrate these things into the text, put
them in footnotes or appendices, or had some other approach. I was hoping
to read some examples to help me develop my own discussion of these things.
Thanks,
Paul
