Multiple Imputation

[Pia]

Dear all,

I have the same problem that other users have posted before, but no solution has been proposed- I'm trying to run multiple imputation with 5 imputations for a very
large data set (now down to 162 variables for the imputation). When I try to run my syntax I immediately get the following message:

"The model cannot be built because a computational error has occurred
during the estimation. No output will be displayed."

Please, can someone give me any advice on how to handle this problem? Thank you very much in
advance!

Best regards,
Pia

Hi Pia,

If you are using version 19, have you installed the latest patches? The
version 19 FP1 (fix pack 1) says the following has been corrected:
"Certain MULTIPLE IMPUTATION models could not be built due to a
computational error. That has been fixed."

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Kylie.
