Multiple imputation and WLSMV?

20 November 2024 1 6K Report

Hello, When I tried to conduct multiple imputation with WLSMV (Weighted Least Squares Mean and Variance adjusted) and ordinal data, I got the following error: 'Categorical variable F7 contains non-integer values.' and the analysis did not work. As far as I understand, can I not use multiple imputation with the categorical option of WLSMV? What should I do in this case?

Tara Marlena Petzke

Without knowing enough context - it seems like variable F7 includes non-numbers. Have you checked whether you can transform it into numbers/an integer? Then it should work!
