Abstract:

Comparing regression coefficients between nested models is of great practical interest when two explanations of a given phenomenon are specified as linear models. The interest is in whether coefficients of a given set of covariates change significantly when other covariates are added as controls. Methods for such comparison exist for independent and clustered data but all procedures require complete data. We extend the procedure for incomplete data using multiple imputation. We illustrate the problem using a data example.
