| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:48 | comment | added | Carlos | sorry if I've misled you, not sure where i indicated there is missing data. There is no missing data. Reading my original comment i realize "These independent variables are not present in the removed data, so there really should be no reason for them to change now." might sound like there is missing data - what i meant with this statement was that for these younger children the value is always 0, i.e. No. | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:43 | comment | added | Peter Flom | You already said that there is missing data. So, which is it? | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:42 | comment | added | Carlos | Thank you! However there is no missing data. This was a concern for me too, but I've checked and there are no missing values. Simply 1 for "yes" and 0 for "no" - all cases are known | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:39 | comment | added | Peter Flom | If their missing data was incorrectly coded (e.g. someone coded missing as 999 and forgot to make that missing) then that would account for the fact that removing them had an effect on significiance. | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:32 | comment | added | Carlos | hmm. It's not really a problem with missing data. The removed part of the dataset is made up out of very young children who do not suffer from the medical issues that are used as independent variables - telling the effect of these issues is therefor not relevant for the purpose of my report. So those individuals were simply cut from the data, and shouldn't have had an impact. Let me know if it's unclear | |
| Apr 21, 2018 at 12:25 | comment | added | Peter Flom | Are you sure the missing values in the removed portion were coded correctly as missing? | |
