Assessing the influence of socioeconomic and environmental variables on malaria risk in Nigerian children under 5 years: a GLMM approach
Missing data were not deleted in this investigation; instead, multiple imputations utilizing chained equations were used to approximate the missing observation. Based on the results found by using the GLMM, the findings of this study may influence how the government combats malaria in Nigeria. The novelty of this study is that the missing values were not dropped. However, imputation techniques were explored, and multiple imputation by chained equations was used.
