Assuming a set of 20 continuous variables, are there specific reasons for *not* combining the results of 5 MI data sets before doing regression analyses (e.g., by computing value estimates by averaging across the 5 values per variable) instead of combing the parameter estimates that are generated from each of the 5 models run seperately)?
thanks, Steve
