I am using multiple imutation (FCS) in SPSS 17 and have succesfully created 5 new imputed databases from my original data.When I run a test on the means and standard deviations by iterattion and imputation for each scale dependent variable for which values were imputed to assess the convergence model, I get five straight lines indicating a relationship or pattern rather than the random "white noise" pattern that I want. What does this mean, does it matter and can I use this imputed data or do I need to do something else before I can use it?
Please please help me!
Thanks,
Sarah
