Hi Statalisters,

I am looking for assistance with an analysis project where I would like to multiply impute several nested variables, using the multiply imputed data for the 'higher' variable in my imputation models for the lower variable, in combination with setting some conditional values.

I envision this as employing the following steps:

*1. multiply impute var1
*2. set var2 = 0 for those whose imputed var1==0
*3. multiply impute var2
*4. set var3 = 0 for those whose imputed var2==0
*5. multiply impute var3
*6. combine all multiply imputed datasets for full analysis

All vars are binary.

I am looking for guidance on how to use multiply imputed data to inform the subsequent imputations, how to implement the conditioning based on the mi results and rules, and and how to combine all together for our final analysis.

Thanks in advance for your advice, and where additional clarification is necessary.
