Table 2. Results from the univariable and multivariable linear regression analyses predicting CSA performance from the scores from the three selection measures (CPS, SJT, and SC) on the multiply imputed study data (m = 10) for the whole sample and for different subgroups of applicants. The last three rows also report the results from analysis of the non-imputed data
