Jul 24, 2012 at 22:49 comment added Ruben @jbow Yes, and I'd especially like to know whether I may have underestimated my parameters (biased towards towards the null) because of limited variance (because I lost many values in the lower end of the distribution).
Jul 24, 2012 at 14:19 comment added jbowman To summarize: your concern is that a) the missing data does not appear to be missing completely at random (acronym: MCAR) and therefore b) your parameter estimates may be biased? If so, that's certainly a valid concern!

hopefully improved terms
Jul 24, 2012 at 8:18 comment added Ruben @jbow I don't care more about range than variance. I want to know whether I may have underestimated the estimated OLS relationships because I had to exclude this group of data points with significantly-lower-than-average-scores. I'm quite certainly using the wrong terms, judging by what turns up when I google. I'll rephrase and gladly use correct terms (I first tended towards "constricted variance" but that led to only 85 hits).
Jul 24, 2012 at 2:00 comment added jbowman Just to help understand the problem - why do you care about range restrictions but not so much about variance? And why do you think there's any restriction on the range at all, as contrasted with simply less variability / fewer observations leading to a slightly tighter range of the DV?
