Hi,
I have very dumb question to ask. This is the first time I have imputed data using multiple imputation [MI] in SPSS. I have imputed some of my demographic categorical variables for my thesis. I want to report the frequency and percentages of these variables now. I am not sure how to go about it. I know I have to report the pooled results but the pooled results report some of the categories in decimal points not in integers?? for example like for categories of age it is as follows:
Age:
imputation 1: 1 year 582
imputation 1: 1 year 585
imputation 1: 1 year 586
imputation 1: 1 year 585
imputation 1: 1 year 586
Polled result: 1 years 585.2
It is not possible to have number of participants in decimals in a category and does not really make sense to report it in this way. And I am not even sure if I am supposed to report this before doing MI or I can do it after or if there is any other way to do it.
It will be a huge help if someone could tell me ASAP what is it that I am missing here.
