The point of multiple imputation is to
avoid collapsing the data so that the procedures can handle the uncertainty
correctly. The enabled procedures will give you the corrected summaries.

Dear list: First time user of SPSS’s
multiple imputation procedure. After running this procedure the output
generate provides data sets for each imputation. Thus, if I requested 10
imputations I obtained 10 different data sets with imputation values for
those that were missing data points. Although It seems like one could simply
get the average of all of the imputed values for those folks with missing
values SPSS does not create a new data set with the average values or any
measures of error associated with the imputed values. I would be curious
to know what other folks have done using spss after they have run the multiple
imputation procedure. martin
