Hello

I'm trying to do MICE imputation in Stata.

I have 17 variables in the analysis model and I have to include them all in the imputation model. This means that I would have to find multiple auxiliary variables since no one variable will correlate with all 17.

Is it okay to run the model without having auxiliary variables? I noticed that in the UCLA Stata multiple imputation manual, it says to identify auxiliary variables "if necessary"

Thanks
