Hello!
Thank you so much for this interesting discussion. Unforunately as far as I understand the suggestions on using EM for EFA don't solve the problems for categorical variables with missing values, since EM cannot be applied to categorical data in SPSS (and in general??). On top of that, SPSS won't compute Little's MCAR test for categoriacal variables
Does someone have any suggestions for dealing with missing values on categorical variables? My proximal goal is to build scales using EFA and reliability analyses. I know MI is the state of the art, but as it has already been noted, spss doesn't produce pooled results for EFA yet.


I appreciate any help/advice/comment!!!!
