Dear all,

I am a new user Realcom-imput, I would like to know if it is possible to:
1/ impute simultaneously more than one variable (by chained equation),
2/ include explanatory variable variables with missing values in the imputation models (it seems variables should have no missing values),
3/ define plausible imputed values (e.g. by predictive mean matching).
Best regards,

You should read the manual that is on the website. It does not used chained equations and you can spcify missing data anywhere and imputed values are available.

Your imputation model is great for using and it is having more data about that. The explanatory variables is also good for using their models. The reviews is wonderful. Your discussion is useful for reader for supporting their models.

You can impute several variables at a time - but it does not use chained equations. Explanatory variables in imputation model must have no missing values - if any have make them responses in imputation model.
