Hey all,

 

I am using a large scale dataset with cases (students) nested in organizational structures (colleges). I had to impute missing values for four variables. I am used the mixed models – generalized linear model function in SPSS to run a multinomial logistic regression.

 

However, I keep getting a message which states “Warning: This procedure ignores split file specifications”. I assume this means that the imputation is being ignored, but the case processing summary seems to indicate (based on the total N) that 5 samples are being employed. Any insight?
